Tow Truck Light Bars

A tow truck light bar has one job that a plain roof bar does not: warning traffic behind the bed while the operator is out of the cab hooking up a car. The 55 inch, 61 inch and 68 inch Low Pro bars at the top of this page are available with rear facing tow package sections for exactly that, and they are the three sizes most of our recovery customers run. The 49 inch and 43 inch bars fit standard flatbed and light duty wrecker cabs, and the 17 and 30 inch magnetic bars handle service trucks and spotters. Every bar is amber, with amber and white available for scene lighting, in a 1.5 inch profile IP69K housing with Generation IV LEDs and TIR optics, designed and engineered in Sarasota, Florida.

Match the bar to the truck. Light duty wreckers and service bodies are well served by the 30 to 49 inch bars plus a rear beacon. Medium duty wreckers and full width cabs take the 55 inch, and heavy wreckers and rotators the 61 or 68 inch with the tow package. If you work across state lines, amber with rear tow sections plus a supplemental strobe at the back of the bed is the safe configuration everywhere. Pair the bar with strobe heads for the grille and bed, or see all emergency light bars.

What is the tow package?

Dedicated rear facing amber sections built into the 55, 61 and 68 inch bars that put warning output toward traffic approaching from behind the bed, not just across the cab roof.

Is amber legal for tow trucks in my state?

Amber is the permitted warning color for tow and recovery vehicles in every US state and needs no department permit. A few states require 360 degree visibility when stopped on a highway shoulder, which the tow package covers.

Can I get white scene lighting on the same bar?

Yes. Order the amber and white configuration and the white sections run as steady burn work light for night recoveries, independent of the flash patterns.

How long is the controller cable?

12, 22 and 27 foot options, so long bed and heavy duty cab to controller runs are covered.
