Slideback Recovery and Transportation Vehicles
TRUK ‘Florida’ Ultra Low Approach Slidebacks in Aluminium
Take a Look at the 'Ultra Low Approach' in Action
Our ‘Florida’ Ultra Low Approach Slidebacks have payloads ranging from 3.5 tonnes to 12 tonnes and are designed and individually custom built to fit the majority of European chassis ranging from 7.5 tonnes and over.
With their Aluminium Outer Bodies, hot dipped Galvanised Chassis Sub Frames, Inner Bodies and Chassis Fittings, our Slidebacks give you more legal payload without any of the problems of rust you might have with steel.
Our aluminium sections, that are produced to our unique designs and manufactured from our own dies, give you great strength. And our Outer bodies’ main sliding channels are made from aluminium, not steel, and welded to our aluminium floor. Giving you more payload and none of the problems that can occur when steel channels are clamped with bolts to an aluminium floor.
Our Ultra Low Loading Angles give you the ultimate in low loading angles.

Key Design Specifications – Ultra Low Approach
Aluminium Body
- Design Capacities from 3.5 – 6 Tonnes. Designed by professional designers with over 40 years experience using the latest 3D computer aided design technology our Slidebacks are very strong
- Ultra Low Approach Loading Angle Aluminium Outer body. We believe our very low loading angle (even with second car spectacle lift) is one of the lowest loading angles on the market. Less chance of damaging cars with low spoilers.
- Flyer, Attractive looking, full width and cab high.
- Body Rollers fitted to rear of Outer Body. Wide rollers means there is less chance of damaging your customers’ soft tarmac drives and they’re easy to replace if you ever need to..
