At Easy Logistics, we’re always driving smarter transport solutions for every challenge on the road. This month, we’re spotlighting a transport hero that often flies under the radar – the Tow Tilt Tray Truck.

Whether it’s recovering a broken-down vehicle, relocating machinery, or safely transporting new cars from dealership to driveway, tilt tray trucks (also known as slide tray or flatbed tow trucks) are your go-to choice for reliable, safe, and damage-free transport.

What is a Tilt Tray Truck?

A tilt tray truck is designed with a flatbed that hydraulically tilts and slides back to form a ramp. Vehicles or cargo can be easily winched or driven onto the tray, then securely transported.

This setup allows for:

• 🚗 Non-driveable vehicles to be loaded safely
  
  
• 🛠️ Equipment and machinery transport without cranes
  
  
• 🏍️ Motorbike and small asset recovery
  
  

Common Uses of Tilt Tray Tow Trucks in Australia

Tilt trays are used across a wide range of industries. From accident recovery to delivering forklifts or small generators, their flexibility makes them a key player in modern logistics.

They’re ideal for:

✅ Accident or breakdown recovery
✅ Transporting small-to-medium-sized machinery (e.g., mini excavators, scissor lifts)
✅ Moving unregistered or non-operational vehicles
✅ Vehicle delivery for dealerships and auctions
✅ Emergency roadside assistance
✅ Construction & landscaping support equipment deliveries

Benefits of Using Tilt Tray Trucks

🛡️ Damage-Free Transport – Cargo stays level and secure, unlike wheel-lift tow trucks that drag vehicles behind.

⏱️ Fast Loading – The hydraulic tilt system means quick, hassle-free loading, even for damaged or immobile assets.

🚧 Versatility – Handles more than just cars – machinery, storage containers, and palletised loads can all be moved.

📍 Great for Tight Spaces – Unlike semi-trailers, tilt trays can access tighter job sites, driveways, and suburban areas.

⚠️ Limitations to Keep in Mind

• Not suitable for large or oversized freight
  
  
• Capacity varies (commonly up to 6–8 tonnes) – check with us for exact load specs
  
  
• Fewer long-distance applications compared to prime movers or B-doubles
