Buy or hire the 27-16 Transporter if...
- you want one that is rated 50kg heavier gross
A hydraulic tilt-bed transporter used by recovery operators, car dealers and track-day owners. The hydraulic tilt rather than a winch and ramps is the whole reason to choose it: loading a low or non-running car alone is simple in a way it is not on a flatbed.

Buy or hire the AT 4019/27 if...
A tipping, low-bed car transporter from German builder Bockmann, rated to carry a car or light plant up to around 2 tonnes. The tipping bed and integral winch let one person load a non-runner without a separate ramp, which is what puts it in vehicle recovery and plant fleets rather than ordinary car trailers.
