Flatbed and flat-deck towing in Townsville is closely related to tilt-tray work — both lift the entire vehicle off the road — but the term is most often used for longer-deck rigs and equipment-style trays where the load is craned, ramp-loaded or skidded on rather than tilted. It is the right call for vehicles that are wider, longer or oddly shaped: side-by-sides, golf carts, ride-on mowers, small forklifts, light tractors, and damaged vehicles that need to be lifted in pieces. It is also the format of choice for two-vehicle moves where space allows. The operators we recommend can mobilise a flat deck across the Townsville metro and out to the Ring Road, and combine flat-deck capacity with tilt-tray and heavy-recovery rigs when a job needs more than one truck.
