Frequently Asked Questions
How To Move Non-Running or Salvage Cars
When a car is running and in good working order, transportation can be relatively straightforward. If you need to move a car that won’t start or is badly damaged, though, the operation can require some specialised equipment. Particularly for salvage cars and wrecks, there can be missing or malfunctioning parts and other issues that mean standard transportation is out of the question.
For damaged and non-running vehicles, the process of transportation can require delicacy to prevent further damage, as well as extra equipment to get it on and off the truck. Forklifts and other gear like winches and cables are often required to manoeuvre the vehicle into position. In some cases, specialised trailers are necessary to prevent damage to both the vehicle being transported, and the vehicle doing the transporting.
Types of Vehicles that We Can Assist With
There are many reasons you might not be able to transport a vehicle under its own power. It might be broken down and need parts, or it could be damaged from an accident and is no longer safe or legal to drive. It could also be a project or salvage car that you’ve purchased to fix or restore.
Each of these types of vehicle requires its own care and, potentially, its own specialised transportation solution. Let’s look at some of the specifics of these different types of vehicles:
Project & Salvage Cars
Maybe you’ve had a car sitting in a paddock for decades, or you’ve found the perfect shell of a car at auction. These types of vehicles represent potential, and with some time and effort can be bargain buys that become beautiful cars. When they’re not running, though, they can be a tough ask to move, often being fragile.
Non-Running & Drivable Cars
If a car won’t start, it won’t be going anywhere on its own. Whether it’s a daily driver in need of significant repair or a salvage vehicle to be restored, cars that can’t be driven need to be transported. Depending on the level of damage or the degree of repair required, these types of vehicles can require unique equipment to load and transport.
Broken & Damaged Cars
When vehicles are badly damaged (often by traffic collisions or weather), they can be hard to move. In some cases, the vehicle may still run but be unsafe to drive. In these instances, it’s important to arrange transport to a safe location.
How Long Does it Take to Transport a Vehicle?
Transport times vary depending on the location of pick up, drop off and the condition of the vehicle. Badly damaged cars, for instance, may require a tailored solution to transport that is more time consuming than standard transportation. Additionally, most depots only operate Monday to Friday, potentially adding extra time between transport and collection.
