Car Transporter Trucks for Sale (13)

These pages contain all types of car transporter trucks for sale. These can be as varied as an eleven car transporter all the way down to a single car transporter based on a van chassis. What distinguishes a car transporter as opposed to a recovery truck that also carries cars is that a car transporter is designed to carry as many as the vehicle weight will allow, whereas a recovery truck is all about rescue of broke down vehicles – so flexibility and speed of loading is vital. Many operators will interchange the terms, so it’s worth checking out both categories here at Truckpages. If you are looking to move a maximum of two cars at a time, then a 7.5 tonner should work for you – but make sure it is built on a lightweight chassis or a couple of large cars will put you over the gross weight rules. Most trucks running as a 6×2 car transporter will manage six or seven cars – you’d need to add a trailer and run at 44 tonnes to get to the 11 car threshold.

For specialist car movements there are covered car transporters that afford additional protection for the prestige vehicles inside – this also means new cars may not need their protective wrapping. These trucks may have box bodies or curtainsiders. Other specialist versions include race car transporters. These are designed to load these very low slung cars – so long tail lifts or ramps. There is usually additional storage for tools, parts and tyres and sometimes accomodation too.
