Towing Service

Tilt Tray Hire Hobart

A tilt tray (tilt-tray truck) lowers its bed to the ground so that vehicles and equipment can be winched or driven on. This makes it suitable for vehicles that will not start or roll, lowered or low vehicles, damaged vehicles, and machinery that needs to be loaded without ramps.

When this service may be needed

  • Vehicles that will not start or roll
  • Lowered or low-clearance vehicles
  • Machinery and equipment movement
  • Damaged vehicles that cannot be driven on
  • Vehicles in tight or awkward spots
  • Loading from street level rather than ramps

Information to provide when calling

  • What is being moved and its approximate weight
  • Vehicle or item dimensions
  • Whether it rolls, steers or runs
  • Ground conditions at the pickup
  • Overhead clearance and access space
  • Whether loading is from the street or private property

Vehicle & access considerations

  • The tray needs room to lower to the ground
  • Overhead obstructions such as branches or awnings
  • Soft, wet or sloping ground
  • Narrow roads and tight turning

Service area context

Tilt tray work happens across Greater Hobart and out along the approaches to the city. Industrial areas such as Cambridge and Brighton, with wider streets and easier access, suit larger loads, while inner-suburban jobs depend on street space and overhead clearance.
