Why SHIFTR is the Ultimate Trailer for Solo Tow Operators

If you’re running a towing service or vehicle transport business as a solo operator, you know the pressure:

Every call-out needs to be efficient. Every dollar matters. And your equipment can’t let you down, not in traffic, not in the rain, and not at 10PM on a Sunday night.

SHIFTR is the car trailer designed for you.

Tough, simple to use, and allows for quick, safe, and professional solo operation.

No ramps, no hassle, and no need for a second person.

Why SHIFTR Works for Independent Operators

As an independent tow operator or transport professional, you don’t have a fleet. You need gear that helps you do more with less.

  1. Ground-level loading means no ramp setup or stacking wood
  2. Remote-controlled hydraulic deck = you stay in control at all times
  3. Load and tie down in under 2 minutes
  4. Over-the-tire tie-downs are fast, secure, and protect the car
  5. 83" wide deck handles everything from sports cars to pickups
  6. Tows with your F-150, Silverado, or Ram 1500, no CDL required
  7. Built in steel for serious use and long-term durability

You’re On Your Own, SHIFTR Is Your Best Teammate

Solo loading? No problem. No winch dancing, no spotter needed.

Low cars? SHIFTR’s 4-degree loading angle handles them with ease.

Non-runners? Winch them up flat, with no angle stress.

Multiple jobs per day? SHIFTR’s fast cycle time saves you hours.

Tight neighborhoods or underground garages? SHIFTR fits where rollbacks don’t.

Keep More of What You Earn

Tow trucks are expensive to run:

  • High fuel bills
  • Heavy maintenance
  • Costly insurance
  • Licensing and inspections
  • Downtime that kills your revenue

The SHIFTR car hauler lets you keep control of your schedule and your margins.

It tows behind your pickup, parks easily, and pays for itself fast, even for part-time operators.

Built for Work, Backed by Experience

SHIFTR is engineered by the same team behind Futura Trailers, with over 5,000 units in the field.

It’s designed for serious vehicle handling, whether you’re on job #1 or job #500.

Dependable Gear for a Dependable Operator

If you’re the kind of operator who values efficiency, durability, and doing things right the first time, the SHIFTR car hauler trailer is built for you.
