- you want one that is 385kg lighter empty
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.
