Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use a super tilt trailer?
Super tilt trailers are ideal for transporting long, low or heavy items such as buses, motorhomes, or construction machinery. Their extended length and hydraulic tilt mechanism allow for easy loading of non-operational or oversized vehicles. They’re commonly used in mining, transport, and civil engineering industries where conventional towing equipment is not sufficient.
What types of freight can be moved by road transport?
Road transport can accommodate a wide variety of freight, including general goods, construction materials, shipping containers, agricultural equipment, and dangerous goods (with proper certification). The choice of vehicle—whether it’s a tilt tray, flatbed, or enclosed trailer—depends on the cargo’s dimensions, weight, and special handling needs.
How does emergency towing work in remote areas?
Emergency towing in remote areas often involves 24/7 dispatch services and specialised vehicles capable of handling rough terrain. GPS coordination, satellite communication, and experienced operators are crucial. The goal is to reach stranded vehicles promptly and ensure safe recovery, often under challenging weather or road conditions. Extra time and cost may apply due to distance and terrain.
