Frequently Asked Questions
Can a tilt tray tow a full-size bus?
Yes, most heavy-duty tilt tray trucks are equipped to transport full-size buses, provided the weight stays within legal limits—typically up to 21 tonnes. These trucks are specifically designed with reinforced beds and heavy-duty winches to handle long and heavy vehicles safely.
The extended tray allows for full support along the bus's length, while the tilt function ensures smooth loading and unloading with minimal risk of damage. Before booking, it’s best to confirm your bus’s dimensions and weight to ensure compatibility and avoid delays on the day of transport.
What if the truck or bus isn’t drivable?
Tilt trays are built for exactly that situation. Whether the engine’s blown, the gearbox is gone or the wheels are locked, a tilt tray truck can still retrieve and move it safely. Using strong winches, rollers and angle adjustments, the operator can load the vehicle without needing it to be drivable.
Letting the team know ahead of time that the vehicle can’t be steered or started helps them bring extra equipment, such as skates or wheel dollies, which makes the process faster and safer for everyone involved.
Do I need to do anything before my vehicle is transported?
There are a few things you can do to help ensure smooth transport. First, clear any obstacles around the vehicle so the tow truck can get in close. Remove or secure loose items inside the cab or body to prevent shifting during the trip. If the vehicle has external add-ons—like mirrors, toolboxes or signage—check they’re secure or remove them if possible.
Also, let the towing operator know the exact condition of the truck or bus: is it rolling, locked, or stuck in gear? Is the handbrake on? These details can help the team prepare better and avoid surprises when they arrive.
