Tilt Tray Truck Services
Our tilt tray trucks are perfect for safe, efficient transport of vehicles, machinery, and equipment—especially when a standard tow just won’t cut it. Ideal for cars that can’t be driven, small excavators, or low-clearance vehicles, tilt trays allow for easy loading and secure delivery. Whether you’re in Darwin, Katherine, Alice Springs or somewhere in between, we’ve got Territory-ready tilt trays and experienced operators available 24/7.

What is the average cost of towing a car in the NT?
The cost of towing a car in the Northern Territory can vary depending on a few factors—such as the distance travelled, type of vehicle, and time of day. For short local tows within the Darwin area, prices generally start from around $100 to $150. For longer distances or remote recoveries (like trips to or from Katherine or Alice Springs), the cost can increase significantly, especially if specialised equipment like a tilt tray or 4WD recovery rig is needed. After-hours or emergency callouts may also incur additional fees. It's always a good idea to call ahead, explain your situation, and request a quote based on your location and vehicle type.
Is towing covered by insurance in Australia?
In many cases, yes—towing may be covered by your car insurance policy in Australia, but it depends on your level of cover. Comprehensive insurance often includes towing after an accident, while basic third-party policies usually don’t. Some insurers offer roadside assistance as an optional extra, which may also include towing in the event of a mechanical breakdown. It's important to review your policy details or contact your insurer directly to understand what’s included. Keep in mind that if you arrange towing yourself without involving your insurer, you may have to cover the cost upfront and seek reimbursement later (if eligible).
Can tow trucks move 4WDs, trucks, and heavy vehicles?
Yes, tow trucks can move much more than just cars—provided the towing company has the right equipment. For 4WDs, especially those stuck off-road or in difficult terrain, specialised recovery vehicles and tools like winches or tilt trays are typically used. For trucks, buses, or machinery, heavy-duty towing options like step deck semis or even road trains may be needed. It’s essential to choose a towing service that has experience with larger or non-standard vehicles to ensure safe and damage-free transport. Always check whether the towing company offers specific services for heavy or commercial vehicles before booking.
