What is a car carrier designed to do?

  1. Transport farming equipment

  2. Carry one to three motor vehicles

  3. Haul construction materials

  4. Assist in roadside repairs

The correct answer is: Carry one to three motor vehicles

A car carrier is specifically designed to transport one to three motor vehicles. This specialized type of tow truck features a flatbed or a trailer that allows it to securely carry multiple vehicles at a time, making it ideal for transporting cars from one location to another, such as from a dealership to a customer or from an accident scene to a repair shop. The design of the car carrier facilitates safe loading and unloading of vehicles, ensuring they remain secure during transit. The other options do not accurately reflect the primary function of a car carrier. While farming equipment and construction materials may require transportation, this is not the purpose of a car carrier. Additionally, roadside repairs might be a service provided by various types of tow trucks, but it is not the primary function of a car carrier, which is focused solely on moving vehicles.
