Smarter & Scalable Transport: Why Fleet Managers need SHIFTR

Managing a fleet is a constant balancing act, you need to reduce costs, improve uptime, and empower your team to move vehicles safely and efficiently.

Whether you oversee dealership transfers, mobile technicians, warranty repairs, or internal service vehicles, the challenge is the same: most transport solutions are overbuilt, overpriced, or too complex to scale.

SHIFTR car trailers changes the equation.

It’s a purpose-built car hauler trailer that lets your team move vehicles quickly, safely, and with fewer people, all while reducing fleet costs and increasing responsiveness.

The Transport Bottleneck: Hidden Costs That Hurt Fleets

Across any operation, the hidden costs of traditional transport add up:

• Relying on rollbacks or flatbed tow trucks for routine moves
• High operating costs (diesel, PTO systems, commercial insurance)
• Delays from third-party transporters
• Licensing and training requirements for tow truck operators
• Inefficiencies in staff time and job cycle speed

The SHIFTR trailer eliminates those bottlenecks by offering simple, self-managed transport using the vehicles and team you already have.

What Makes SHIFTR Ideal for Fleet Deployment

SHIFTR is a rugged, steel-framed trailer with a remote-controlled hydraulic deck that lowers to a 3-degree loading angle, allowing for ground-level vehicle loading that’s fast, safe, and solo-operator friendly.

Fleet-optimized features include:

Tow with pickups, vans, or SUVs, no CDL required

Over-the-tire tie-down system = faster securing and no underbody contact

83" wide deck accommodates modern vehicles and low-clearance models

Remote operation = solo loading in under 2 minutes

Compact footprint = easy to deploy, store, and transfer between locations

Simplified maintenance = sealed hydraulic system, no engine or driveline

From dealership stock movement to field service support, SHIFTR gives you transport flexibility without heavy infrastructure.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership vs Tow Trucks

Full-size flatbeds are expensive:

1. Purchase price of $150,000+
2. Diesel fuel and DEF systems
3. Commercial insurance premiums
4. PTO-related maintenance and repairs
5. Licensing and compliance costs

SHIFTR, starting at just $11,995, requires:

• Standard Class III or IV hitch
• No special license
• Low insurance premiums
• Simple servicing
• Power from your existing fleet vehicle

You get 80% of the utility, with 20% of the cost, and faster ROI.
