Tilt Tray Towing
Tilt tray towing is one of the safest and most effective ways to transport vehicles that can’t be driven. Whether your car’s been in an accident, has a flat battery, or is too low to safely load onto a standard tow truck, a tilt tray is the answer.
The flatbed tilts to ground level, allowing your vehicle to be winched or rolled on smoothly—no scraping, no dragging, and no further damage. This method is ideal for prestige vehicles, damaged cars, and anything with low clearance.
It also makes recovery in tricky locations much easier. Tilt tray towing is not only fast and secure, it’s also the most reliable choice for protecting your vehicle in transit.
Heavy Vehicle Towing
When a heavy vehicle breaks down, standard towing just doesn’t cut it. Whether it’s a truck, a loaded trailer, a bus, or a piece of earthmoving equipment, you need a tow truck that’s built for the job.
Heavy vehicle towing requires serious pulling power, along with the right gear and trained operators who know how to handle weight distribution and large-scale recoveries. This service is designed for breakdowns, accident recovery, or transporting machinery from site to site.
It’s a specialised service, and it’s carried out with a strong focus on safety, stability, and efficiency. Whether you’re stuck roadside or on a job site, we’ll get your heavy vehicle moved safely and professionally.

Can tow trucks take you to a mechanic of your choice?
Yes, in most cases, you can request your vehicle be taken to your preferred mechanic, smash repairer, or holding yard. If you don’t have a preference, most towing operators can recommend a trusted local workshop to carry out any necessary repairs.
