Buy or hire the TB Tiltbed if...

- you want one that is 2cm wider inside
A flatbed trailer with a tilting deck, built for loading vehicles with low ground clearance or for vehicle recovery, where a fixed ramp angle would ground the car. Recovery operators and low-car owners choose it over a standard flatbed for that reason alone.
