ReTractor - Safe recovery in the tightest of spaces

ReTractor Towing Assistance | © Fill

Innovative recovery technology for damaged and burned-out vehicles

 

The towing aid developed by Fill offers an innovative solution for the safe and efficient recovery of defective or burned-out vehicles - especially electric vehicles.

Originally designed for use in multi-story parking garages, the towing aid is also suitable for factory buildings, underground parking garages, company premises, and other non-public areas. It is suitable for any location where vehicles need to be moved using a carrier vehicle. The system was developed and built by Fill and is protected by a patent.

The ReTractor has proven itself in real-world applications since 2025. Since this product is not one of Fill's core competencies, we are offering the patented concept for sale.
