CAR CARRIER TRUCKS FOR SECURE VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Transporting vehicles across Australia is a specialised business. Whether you’re moving a single prestige car on a tilt-tray or a full load of new vehicles on a multi-deck carrier, it demands precision, load stability, and unwavering reliability. Western Star trucks are purpose-built for this task. We engineer our trucks to meet the exact demands of vehicle logistics, ensuring your valuable cargo arrives safely every time, and your operators benefit from long-haul comfort and drivability.

WHY WESTERN STAR IS IDEAL FOR VEHICLE HAULAGE

Vehicle transport needs a truck that’s stable, predictable, and comfortable for long shifts. Western Star provides the power, visibility, and ride quality operators rely on when towing multi-deck and specialised car carrier trailers. It’s a solid platform built to handle consistent mileage, tight schedules, and varied routes with confidence.

• • • Excellent drivability and turning performance for metro and highway use: Vehicle carriers often navigate the diversity of tight urban areas, dealership lots, and long stretches of highway. Our vehicle transportation trucks are designed for superior manoeuvrability, offering impressive wheel cut angles for tight turns in city environments, yet maintaining stable, smooth performance at highway speeds. This balance is crucial for efficient multi-stop deliveries and long-distance runs.
    • Configurable chassis lengths to suit car carriers and tilt trays: A standard chassis often won’t cut it for specialised car carrier bodies or tilt trays. Western Star offers chassis configurations available to suit float trailers, low loaders, or custom plant bodies. This adaptability means optimal weight distribution and compliance with vehicle dimension regulations.
    • Engineered for smooth ride quality and load stability: Vehicle haulage demands predictable handling, especially when towing multi-deck trailers with varied loads. Western Star trucks comprise robust suspension systems that absorb road vibration and reduce harshness in the cab. This gives drivers a smoother, more controlled ride across highways, access roads, and yard environments.
    • Fuel-efficient engines for long-haul and interstate deliveries: Vehicle logistics often involves covering vast distances. Our car transportation trucks are equipped with powerful yet fuel-efficient Detroit engines and Cummins engines. These proven powerplants deliver the torque needed for heavy loads while optimising fuel consumption, a key factor in reducing operational costs on interstate runs.
    • Comfortable, tech-enabled cabs designed for multi-stop operations: Drivers in vehicle logistics experience a mix of long-haul driving and frequent stop-start operations in urban areas. Our cabs are built for comfort and efficiency, featuring ergonomic layouts, advanced climate control, and intuitive, tech-enabled dashboards. This design minimises driver fatigue during extended periods behind the wheel and supports productivity during multi-drop schedules.

This is what makes Western Star ideal for heavy plant haulage. Every truck is built with work in mind, not just specs on paper.
