Whether you're transporting a project car, delivering vehicles for a dealership, or hauling a race car to the track, a purpose-built car trailer is essential. Australia's car trailer market ranges from basic flatbed carriers to fully enclosed show-car transporters with hydraulic tilt decks.

Australian roads and distances make car trailers a necessity for anyone who regularly transports vehicles. Whether it's a 30-minute trip to the mechanic or a 3,000 km delivery run across the Nullarbor, the right car trailer protects your vehicle and makes loading and unloading safe.
A dedicated car trailer is safer than flatbed alternatives because of purpose-designed tie-down points, wheel chocks, and ramp angles. Tilt-deck trailers make loading low-clearance vehicles simple — no need for separate ramps that can shift or bend under load.
Australian-manufactured car trailers are built to handle our long-distance conditions with heavy-duty axles, electric brakes, and hot-dip galvanised frames. Many feature adjustable wheel tracks to accommodate different vehicle widths and spare wheel mounts for the trailer and the transported vehicle.
Know the heaviest vehicle you'll transport and add 20% — this gives you your minimum trailer rating. A standard car (1,400 kg) needs at least a 2,000 kg rated trailer. Don't forget to factor in fuel and fluids in the transported vehicle.
Tilt-deck trailers are the most popular choice because they eliminate the need for separate ramps. Hydraulic tilt is the premium option (powered by a 12V pump), while mechanical tilt uses a hand winch. Both work well, but hydraulic is easier for single-person operation.
Check the ramp angle — steep ramps can catch on low-slung vehicles. Beaver-tail designs with a gradual entry angle are better for sports cars and lowered vehicles. Ensure tie-down points are rated for the vehicle weight and positioned to secure all four wheels.
