Sydney Harbour to Palm Beach

Tow Truck and Tilt Tray Hire Across
North Sydney and the Northern Beaches

From the office towers of North Sydney and Chatswood to the leafy Upper North Shore and right out along the Northern Beaches, we tow and transport 24/7.

Local Towing and Transport Across the North Shore and Northern Beaches

North Sydney is really three regions in one. There is the harbour-side commercial north around North Sydney, Chatswood and St Leonards, the leafy and hilly Upper North Shore, and the Northern Beaches strung along the peninsula. We tow and transport cars, 4WDs, prestige vehicles, machinery and plant across all three. Our tilt tray trucks lower to ground level to clear a car from a height-limited basement or a steep driveway without a scrape, and our flatbed trucks carry the heavier and awkward loads. The north has been part of our run for more than 30 years, one of the core Sydney regions we cover, from the harbour towers to the top of the peninsula. We run 24 hours a day, and our drivers know the area, from the Warringah Freeway and Military Road to Pittwater Road and the Spit Bridge, so we plan the run around the traffic and turn up with the right truck. We also cover the neighbouring Sydney CBD across the bridge and the Hills District to the west, so a job that runs beyond the north is no problem.

Suburbs We Cover Across the North Shore and Northern Beaches

The north spreads a long way, and we cover all of it. If your suburb isn’t listed here, call our team, and we’ll confirm coverage straight away.

 

  • North Sydney and the Lower North Shore: North Sydney, Crows Nest, Chatswood, Macquarie Park and Seaforth.

  • The Upper North Shore: Hornsby and St Ives.

  • The Northern Beaches: Manly, Dee Why, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Newport, Avalon and Palm Beach.

What Towing Looks Like North of the Harbour

Each of those three areas asks something different of a tow truck, and we plan the job to match.

North Sydney high-rise above the harbour

Harbour-side high-rise and basements

North Sydney, Chatswood and the St Leonards corridor are full of office and apartment towers with height-limited basements. Give us the clearance when you book, and we’ll send equipment that fits, then ease the vehicle out cleanly. Around Macquarie Park, we also handle forklift and equipment moves for the business park.

Tree-lined street in Sydney

Steep, leafy streets on the Upper North Shore

St Ives, Hornsby and the streets around them are hilly and tree-lined, with long, steep driveways and bush blocks. We bring a truck suited to the grade and the access, and take the load low and slow where the driveway is tight.

On and off the Northern Beaches

The Northern Beaches run along a peninsula served by a handful of arterials, Pittwater Road, Warringah Road and Mona Vale Road, with the Spit Bridge the main pinch-point back toward the city. We plan recovery and transport around the traffic, and handle beach-side streets and the Brookvale industrial estate for machinery and plant moves.

Our Northern Sydney Towing Services

Wherever the job sits, north of the harbour or out on the peninsula, we match it to the right truck before leaving the depot. These are the five we run most across the north:

We approached Select Tilt Tray Group to transport a 10T forklift from Sydney to Gloucester. The machine was collected without hassle and delivered to our workshop on schedule. Definitely the name in forklift transport, no one has the experience or equipment these guys do. Highly recommend 5 stars.

Today, Rick delivered, with his tilt truck, an old caravan that we bought. He was very careful, and the van arrived perfectly well at our place. I am very pleased to share this review with everyone as we are very happy with ‘Select Tilt Tray Group’. The team is super friendly, the offer was fair and they were also very quick to do the delivery. Communication with them was super easy, phone calls and emails etc. We are very happy.
