Open transport
Open car transport
Our low-angle open trays: the everyday standard for prestige cars in Sydney. Same 4-degree loading, same soft straps, same operator — without the enclosed premium.
Most cars travel this way, and should.
Open transport does the majority of our work, and for the majority of cars it is the right answer. A dealership transfer across town, a track car heading to Sydney Motorsport Park, a new delivery going to a customer, a lowered street build moving between workshops. These do not need a closed box around them. They need a tray that loads without touching, straps that never go near the paint, and someone who treats the job like the car is his.
What makes ours different from a standard tilt tray is the angle. Our trays lay down to four degrees, which is what lets a slammed car, an aero-kitted car or a long-overhang GT load cleanly where a steeper tray would grind. That capability comes standard on the open trucks, not just the enclosed one.
What you get on an open tray
- 4-degree loading: the same shallow approach angle as our enclosed work, so low cars are never a problem
- Soft straps through the wheels only: nothing hooked or chained to bodywork, suspension or subframe
- Photo condition report: your car documented before it loads and after it lands, exactly as with enclosed
- One operator: the person who quotes the job straps it down and delivers it
- Faster and better value: no enclosed premium, and easier access into tight yards and basements
When to step up to enclosed
We will tell you honestly when a car warrants the enclosed trailer instead: original-paint concours cars, hypercars, long interstate runs in poor weather, or when discretion matters as much as protection. For everything else, open is faster, more accessible and costs less — and the care is identical. If you are weighing it up, our enclosed vs open comparison lays out both side by side.
Good to know.
Is open transport safe for a prestige car?
Yes, and it is how most prestige cars in Sydney actually move. The risk on an open tray is not the journey, it is the loading and the securing. Our trays lay down to 4 degrees and we strap through the wheels only, so the two things that damage cars are the two things we have engineered out.
What is the real difference between open and enclosed?
Exposure. On an open tray your car sees weather, road spray and other people's eyes for the length of the trip. On short metro moves in decent weather that is a non-issue. On a concours car, a long interstate run, or anything where discretion matters, enclosed earns its premium.
Can you still load my lowered car on the open tray?
Yes. The 4-degree load angle is on the open trucks too, along with race ramps. Low is our specialty regardless of which truck turns up. Send a photo with your booking and we will confirm the setup.
Is open transport cheaper?
Yes. There is no enclosed premium, and the open trucks get into tight yards, driveways and basement car parks that a full enclosed trailer cannot. For most jobs it is the sensible choice, and we will say so.
