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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is backloading?

Backloading is a cost-effective transport method using trucks returning from deliveries to carry your vehicle or equipment.

We match your transport needs with trucks already scheduled for return trips, then safely load and deliver your vehicle or machinery.

Cars, trucks, forklifts, bobcats, heavy machinery, and prestige vehicles can all be transported via backloading.

Yes. By utilising return trips, you only pay for the space your vehicle occupies rather than a full dedicated tow.

All items transported via backloading are handled by licensed, fully insured operators.

Scheduling depends on truck return routes, but we aim to provide the fastest available option without compromising safety.

Businesses moving machinery or forklifts, vehicle dealerships, and anyone wanting efficient, cost-effective transport can take advantage of backloading services.
