Slideback Recovery and Transportation Vehicles

TRUK ‘Mojave’ Multi Car Carriers in Aluminium

Our ‘Mojave’ Multi Car Carriers are designed and individually custom built to fit the majority of European chassis ranging from 14 Tonnes GVW and over.

You can have our ‘Lie Flat Overhead Carrier’ on our ‘Low Approach’ beds in aluminium from 5 T design weight and over.

Our new design of Lie Flat Overhead Car Carrier which hides the hydraulic rams when lowered, makes it easy and safe to load and unload cars with a fork lift.

Because of our specially designed Initial Low Approach Angles you will find you can load cars with low spoilers more easily.

With their hot dipped Galvanised Chassis Sub Frames, Inner Bodies and Chassis Fittings, our Slidebacks don’t have any of the problems of rust you might have with steel. And our Outer Bodies and Overhead Car Carriers are Aluminium. Whilst our optional 2 T Second Car Spectacle Lifts have Galvanised Wheel Frames.

Key Design Specifications of ‘Mojave’ Multi Car Carrier ‘Low Approach’ Bodies

Aluminium Bodies – ‘Low Approach’

  • Design Capacities from 5 – 8 Tonnes. Designed by professional designers with over 40 years experience using the latest 3D computer aided design technology our Slidebacks are very strong.
  • Aluminium Outer Body with low loading angle and initial ‘Low Approach’ angle. Our Outer Body’s low loading angle and initial ‘Low Approach’ angle means there is less chance of damaging cars with low spoilers.
  • Body Rollers, fitted to rear of Outer Body. Three wide rollers means there is less chance of damaging soft tarmac drives and they’re easy to replace if you ever need to.
  • Galvanised Chassis Subframe, Inner Body and Chassis Fittings. It will never need painting and always look smart.
  • Inner Body fitted with full length ‘Easy – Slide’ low friction bearing strips. Very smooth body sliding operation. Full length bearing strips spread load, so much less friction and wear.
  • Hydraulic Controls fitted to N/S. Heavy duty polyethylene Locker fitted to rear N/S with Illuminated Control Levers.
  • Single Lever Operation with ‘float’ valve. Manual levers to give you complete control over the Body’s operation and the ability to load vehicles on hills or when their heaviest weight is at the rear body.
  • Twin Lifting Rams with Extra Long Stroke Body Sliding Ram. All Hydraulic Rams are fitted with fail safe devices and the Extra Long Body Sliding Ram gives you the best possible loading angle.
  • Automatic Locking/Unlocking of Body. No manual locks to operate. Safer because it reduces time spent at the roadside.
  • 3560kg Hydraulic Winch, including a roller fairlead and 23m of wire cable.
  • Toolbox, chassis mounted, manufactured from heavy duty polyethylene with lock and door seal.
