Buy or hire the Race Box if...
Positioned for classic car owners and smaller motorsport teams who want their car fully enclosed and weatherproof but do not need the wider bed of the Race Sport or Race Transporter ranges. The narrower internal width suits a single classic or compact race car rather than a modern GT car.

Buy or hire the TB Tiltbed if...
- you want one that is 9cm 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.
