Car Transporter – Joy

Car Transporter – Joy

Our tandem axle hydraulic‑braked car transporter trailer (Joy) is the real deal with a mighty 3000kg payload for serious vehicle transport jobs.

The Joy car transporter is designed for excellent on‑road performance and tough reliability when you need to move cars, utes or light commercial vehicles safely and securely. Made from hot‑dipped galvanised steel with a fully welded chassis, it delivers a strong, stable platform that is ready‑assembled by our New Zealand team. Welded tie‑down points and an included electric winch make loading and securing vehicles straightforward, whether you are moving a project car, race car or daily driver.

Compared to our standard Car Transporter (2500kg payload, 3250kg ATM), the Joy model steps up to a massive 3000kg payload with a 3750kg ATM, 195R15C commercial tyres on galvanised rims, and a 3mm checker plate deck with 300mm‑high sides for extra strength and security. It is the ideal choice if you need more capacity, heavier‑duty running gear and a more serious transporter while keeping the same proven Lucca hydraulic tilt and braking platform.

Key features

• Tandem axle, hydraulic‑braked car transporter with a huge 3000kg payload and 3750kg ATM.
• 3mm checker steel plate floor and 300mm‑high sides for a strong, durable deck that helps keep vehicles located on the trailer.
• Hot‑dipped galvanised steel construction, fully welded chassis and mudguards for long‑term corrosion resistance.
• Four‑wheel electric brakes with mechanical park brake and twin safety chains for added safety and control.
• Strong hydraulic tilt system with cable remote for easy loading and unloading of low, long or performance vehicles.
• 195R15C commercial‑rated tyres on galvanised rims for enhanced stability and durability under heavy loads.
• Welded tie‑down points so your load stays safe and secure in transit.
• LED lights (24‑volt ready) and a standard 7‑pin plug for visibility and road compliance.
• Electric winch included to assist with loading non‑running or low‑clearance cars.

What makes Joy different?

• Higher payload: 3000kg payload vs 2500kg on the standard Lucca car transporter, giving more headroom for heavier vehicles or gear.
• Higher ATM: 3750kg ATM vs 3250kg on the standard transporter, when matched with a suitably rated tow vehicle.
• Heavier‑duty deck: 3mm checker plate with 300mm‑high sides, compared with the standard model’s 3mm floor without the same heavy‑duty depth emphasis.
• Larger commercial tyres: 195R15C commercial‑rated tyres on galvanised rims for extra strength and stability compared with the 14" wheel setup on the standard transporter.
• Electric winch included as standard, making it a more complete package for regular vehicle recovery and transport.

This makes the Joy car transporter the better option if you routinely haul heavier vehicles, need extra safety margin in your payload, or want the convenience of an integrated winch and heavier‑duty running gear.
