A bollard pull test should typically be done annually to ensure that the tug or vessel's towing capability is in accordance with industry standards and regulations. Additionally, it may be required to be done after any major repairs or modifications to the vessel.
Greetings There are basically two approaches for calculating Required Bollard Pull of a Tug for towing a Barge or a Ship. The first method is to determine the frictional resistance, wave-making resistance, wind resistance, current resistance and towrope resistance for a given tow speed and sum all these up and depending on the units used convert the same to BHP, after taking an efficiency factor. The second method is to determine the total force (which includes wind resistance, wave resistance, current resistance, all at zero tow speed), that is the force required of the Tug to ensure that it can hold the Tow in a given envriornemental criteria. As per IMO Guidelines for Safe Ocean Towing, a 5 metre wave, 40 knot wind and 1 Knot current is taken. Kind regards Tony Fernandez tony.fernandez@braemarfalconer.co.in
The maximum towing capacity of the 2008 Mercury Mariner is 1,500 pounds. Engine and drive train upgrades, as well as a towing package may be required.
The maximum towing capacity of the 1995 Mercury Village is 3,500 pounds. This is the same for all engines. However, a towing package is required.

It just means it's a service which will provide assistance at roadside. So, if you break down on the side of the road, they'll come out to where you're at to provide towing or any other services they offer which might be required.
Tow truck are required to have ramps so that they can transport low clearance vehicles. This type of towing is ideal for those vehicles that have seized brakes.
Should would refer to this question asking for an opinion, so in my opinion, yes, towing companies should offer vehicle lifts for the general public. Towing companies should not be required to provide lifts to the public. This would be an added expense to them.
