Low Cars Are Painful to Load. This Car Trailer Solves It.

If you’ve ever had to load a lowered street car, classic coupe, or track day weapon onto a traditional "single car hauler" trailer or tilt-bed tow truck, you know the struggle.

Scraped bumpers. Cracked splitters. Blocks of wood. Two-person jobs.

It’s frustrating, slow, and risky, even for seasoned operators.

SHIFTR builds car trailers to fix that.

The Problem: Low Cars & Steep Angles Don’t Mix

The lower your car, the less room you have to work with:

  • Steep ramp angles create contact points with front lips, exhausts, or rear diffusers
  • Limited ground clearance means you need ramps on ramps, or you’ll risk damage
  • Standard tilt decks often don’t go low enough, especially when the car can’t be driven up
  • Winching a low car uphill puts pressure on attachment points and increases risk
  • Loading solo is almost impossible without a spotter and makeshift support blocks

It’s even worse if the vehicle is already damaged, freshly painted, or worth six figures.

The Solution: Ground-Level Loading for Low Cars

SHIFTR car trailers use a remote-controlled hydraulic system that lowers the deck flat to the ground.

The result? A zero-ramp-angle race car trailer that eliminates the need for wood blocks, custom ramps, or second guessing.

Key Benefits of SHIFTR Hydraulic Car Trailers

No scraping, no drama.

The entire vehicle can roll or be winched smoothly onto the flat deck — even at 80mm ride height.

Solo operation

With remote control lowering and over-tyre tie-downs, you don’t need a second set of hands. You stay in control, safely.

Custom-built for performance cars

SHIFTR is ideal for track cars, tuner builds, and restored classics where every panel and alignment counts.

Over-tyre tie-downs mean no damage

No need to crawl under the car or hook onto suspension components — just loop over the tyres and go.
