Select Tilt Tray Group has specialised in forklift transport around Sydney and interstate for the past 20 years. Our reliable crew of expert drivers are fully licenced to drive and operate forklift units of any size.

Our fleet of tow trucks includes:

2 x Elephants: Approx 12 tonnes
  • 1 x GH Hino 260hp tilt tray with lazy axle capable of carrying 12 tons
  • 1 x International T2670 8 wheeler tilt tray capable of carrying 13 tons
  • 1 x Volvo 8 wheeler tilt tray capable of carrying 14 tons
4 x Elephants: Approx 24 tonnes
  • 1 x Scania 480hp prime mover with triaxle trailer and ramps – capable of carrying 24 tons
  • 1 x Freightliner 450hp prime mover with low loader trailer capable of carrying 24 tons

Forklifts come in many different sizes and types – some are small and others are large, high, and heavy. You need to have the correct truck for the job. Sometimes, if the forklift has a really high mast, we would use a low loader. And if the weight is too heavy for one truck, we may need to employ a heavier truck.

At Select Tilt Tray Group, we have a fleet of tow trucks that have specially built low riders that are perfect for forklift transport or for moving extra high units. We also have heavier trailers available for moving oversized units.

Forklift Towing FAQs

Which insurances do you have?
Our insurances include Full On Hook Insurance, Workers Compensation and Public Liability Insurance.
What time is considered 'after hours'?
After-hours is after 6pm and before 6am, and from midday on Saturday, Sunday and public holidays.
Do your drivers carry Eftpost machines?
No, however we can take credit/debit card payments over the phone.
How long does it take for a driver to get here?
We will despatch trucks as soon as possible and can normally pick you up within the hour.
What types of training do your drivers have?
All drivers are trained in load restraint and understand Chain of Responsibility.
How is forklift transport more specialised than general towing?
Drivers who are transporting forklifts need to be extra aware of height and weight restrictions and hazards. Forklifts are heavy items and they need to be secured and restrained accordingly. Our experienced drivers are fully trained in safely transporting forklifts around Sydney.
Can you help store a forklift?
As well as forklift transport, we offer a storage service for forklifts at our secure Kirrawee warehouse for as long as required. Just let us know if you are interested in these services and we will happily make any necessary arrangements for you.
What insurances are required to transport forklifts?
We have a marine insurance policy to cover all goods during transit and during loading and unloading.
What type of forklifts do you transport?
We transport all brands of forklift, including Toyota, Hyundai, Caterpillar and TCM, and have trucks suitable to carry the smallest and largest forklifts.
How much will I save on backload?
If the backload is directly on our return trip without us having to detour too far from our course, you could save up to 50% on normal prices. Our theory is that we make a little more on a truck that is running empty on a trip we have to do anyway and you save a considerable amount off the normal price making us both winners.
How does your backloading system work?
We often have trucks travelling empty on their return trips from country NSW areas. We list these trucks on the dates they are travelling with a rough time that they will be returning. If a truck is heading on a route that will suit you, contact us quickly so we can organise the load. Many times we have had trucks just return from an area only to have another customer ring with a load back from that same area, hence our backloading section. If it saves you some money and makes us a little more, we both win.
Is there a surcharge for credit card payments?
No, we do not charge a surcharge fee. All we charge your card for is the fee quoted for your towing job.
How do I pay for my towing or transport job?
We take Visa or Mastercard as well as cash, cheque or EFT payments at the time of booking the job, or at pickup or delivery.
Does Select Tilt Tray Group employ drivers?
Yes, we have a couple of company owned trucks, but the majority of our drivers are owner operators and drive their own trucks.
Do you ever look for new subcontract drivers?
Sometimes we do, obviously we cannot take on everybody, keep an eye on our website for positions vacant or trucks for sale. Sometimes our subcontract drivers will need to leave our group for various reasons and they will sell their trucks with work so that the truck remains in the group.
