How SHIFTR Is Changing How Workshops Move Cars

Whether you're a mechanic with a shop, or have a panel shop/paint shop, or run a car detailing business, moving cars in and out efficiently is part of your daily workflow.

But for most workshops, it’s also a problem.

You either rely on an external tow truck, waste staff time wrestling with ramps and straps, or use a car trailer that doesn’t suit the job.

The SHIFTR car hauler trailer changes that.

The SHIFTR trailer is designed to make loading vehicles safe, quick, and professional.

It gives workshop owners a better way to move vehicles. This tool works without needing a tow truck or the risks of a DIY setup.

The Problem: Moving Cars Shouldn’t Be This Hard

Most workshops face the same challenges:

1. Waiting on external transporters delays workflow and delivery
2. Hiring tow trucks eats into your margins, especially for short trips
3. Standard trailers require two people, wood blocks, and awkward loading angles
4. Low cars (freshly painted or modified) are risky to load and tie down
5. Your staff aren’t trained tow operators, and safety is a daily concern

It adds to wasted time, lost efficiency, and unnecessary stress.

The SHIFTR Advantage: Designed for the Workshop Environment

SHIFTR is perfect for workshop owners. It gives them full control over vehicle movement. This includes moving vehicles across town, to customers, or back from suppliers.

Here’s what makes SHIFTR the smart choice:

1. Remote-controlled hydraulic lowering = easy ground-level loading
2. 4-degree deck angle = no scraping, no ramps, no wood blocks
3. Solo operation = one person can load, secure, and deliver
4. Over-tyre tie-downs = no crawling under the car or risking suspension damage
5. Compatible with your shop ute or SUV, no special license required
6. Quick turnaround = cars in and out in under 2 minutes

For non-runners, freshly painted vehicles, or modified cars with low clearance, SHIFTR gets the job done without the risk.

Do the Job In-House, No More Waiting

Why pay $200+ for a local tow truck to move a customer car 5miles down the road?

With SHIFTR:

• You save time, no waiting on someone else’s schedule
• You save money, no subcontractor or fleet hire fees
• You look more professional, your own branded transport solution
• You get more flexibility, move vehicles whenever you need to, even after hours

It’s not just a trailer. It’s a tool that gives you control over your customer experience and workflow.
