What Is Tilt And Load Towing?

Tilt and load service helps load, unload and transport vehicles, machinery and equipment. A hydraulic deck tilts back to create a loading approach from ground level. Suitable cargo can be driven or winched onto the platform, then positioned and secured for transport.

We assess a wide range of loads, including construction equipment, industrial machinery, crates, large mechanic's toolboxes and accident-damaged vehicles. The load's weight, dimensions, condition and access determine which equipment and loading method are suitable.

Trailer And Loading Dock Transfers

Need a vehicle loaded onto a car hauler or equipment moved onto another trailer? With a compatible setup, tilt and load equipment can assist with transfers between ground level, transport trailers and loading docks. It can also help unload suitable cargo from a trailer at its destination.

Send the trailer or dock height, cargo details and photographs of the loading area. We will assess clearance, platform capacity, access and any additional handling equipment needed before confirming the arrangement.

Tilt and load towing is commonly used for:

  • Construction equipment
  • Forklifts
  • Scissor lifts
  • Aerial equipment
  • Industrial machinery
  • Vehicles
  • Trailers
  • Storage containers
  • Crated equipment
  • Large mechanic's toolboxes
  • Accident-damaged vehicles
  • Specialty loads

Safety And Efficiency At Every Step

Loading and securement are planned around the cargo. Tell us whether it runs, rolls or has damage, and whether there are approved attachment points. Crates need suitable support, while toolboxes need drawers, contents and moving parts secured. Additional handling equipment may be required for loads that cannot be driven or winched.

The transport arrangement is selected for the load. Confirm the assigned equipment, usable deck space and permitted load with dispatch before booking.
