What is a tilt tray tow truck used for?
A tilt tray tow truck is designed to carry vehicles and heavy items on a flatbed that tilts and slides back for easy loading. It's commonly used for transporting cars, boats, caravans, machinery, and shipping containers. The main advantage is that it allows the load to be winched or driven on safely, without the need for lifting or dragging. This helps prevent damage and makes the process faster and smoother, especially for large or non-drivable items.
Is tilt tray towing better than traditional towing?
Tilt tray towing is often considered a safer and more versatile option, especially for heavier or bulkier loads. Unlike traditional towing, which pulls the vehicle behind the truck, a tilt tray fully secures the item onto a flat surface. This reduces movement during transport and protects the load from road wear and potential damage. It’s especially useful for long distances, low-clearance vehicles, or when the transported item needs to stay level during the trip.
Can a tilt tray truck move a shipping container?
Yes, tilt tray trucks are commonly used for transporting shipping containers, particularly 20ft units. These trucks can safely load and unload containers using a hydraulic tilt function, reducing the risk of damage. It's important to ensure the container is empty or within weight limits, as excessively heavy loads may require a crane or specialised vehicle. Tilt trays are ideal for short to medium-distance container moves, especially in regional or rural locations.
