At Red Tow, we specialize in heavy towing and specialized transport solutions across Melbourne and Victoria. One of our most versatile pieces of equipment is the SuperTilt trailer—also known as a Super Tilt. These trailers are specifically designed to handle jobs that traditional tow trucks or flatbeds simply can’t manage efficiently.
Our SuperTilt trailers feature a large flat deck with a hydraulic tilt-and-slide function and are equipped with two 10-ton hydraulic winches. This combination allows us to handle heavy, non-operational, or awkward loads safely and quickly.
Recently, we were called out for a unique job involving a timber sled imported inside a 40ft container. The challenge? The client needed the entire sled removed in one piece and transferred straight onto our trailer without the hassle of double handling or heavy lifting machinery.
How Red Tow Completed the Job
As showcased in our YouTube video, Red Tow positioned the SuperTilt trailer precisely and adjusted the hydraulic tilt platform to create the perfect angle for extraction. Using our pair of 10-ton hydraulic winches, we then slid the entire timber sled out of the shipping container and onto our trailer in one continuous movement.
This process eliminated the need for forklifts or cranes to individually handle each section, saving significant time and labor costs. The entire container unload was completed in under 30 minutes, proving why the SuperTilt system is the most efficient solution for this type of work.
Why Use a SuperTilt for Container Cargo Transfers?
The SuperTilt trailer is ideal for any imported goods, machinery, or equipment that can slide or roll out of a container. Some common applications include:
- Timber sleds and construction materials
- Industrial machinery and plant equipment
- Vehicles and trailers
- Non-operational trucks or buses
Benefits of using a SuperTilt trailer:
- Fast and efficient loading/unloading
- No double handling – cargo moves directly from container to trailer
- Reduced risk of damage
- Self-loading capability using powerful winches
