SHIFTR: The Ideal Trailer for Mobile Auto Glass Technicians

If you’re in the mobile auto glass business, you already know:

You don’t just fix glass, you move vehicles, parts, and fragile inventory.

Whether you’re picking up a non-drivable vehicle, delivering a customer’s car after a workshop repair, or transporting windscreens and racks to job sites, your transport gear needs to be as reliable and professional as your work.

That’s where the SHIFTR trailer comes in.

It’s the rugged, easy-to-operate trailer that helps mobile glass professionals safely load vehicles, carry gear, and add more capability, without needing a rollback truck or extra crew.

The Problem: Moving Glass & Vehicles Is Risky Business

As a mobile technician or small glass workshop, you deal with:

  1. Customers with damaged or non-drivable cars
  2. Awkward glass deliveries that don’t fit in every van
  3. No ramps or safe way to load a car when it needs transporting
  4. Juggling jobs when you can’t move vehicles yourself

Calling a tow truck costs money. Waiting on one costs time. And using the wrong trailer is a liability.

SHIFTR lets you stay in control: safely, solo, and affordably.

Why SHIFTR Works for Auto Glass Professionals

SHIFTR is a steel-framed car trailer with a remote-controlled hydraulic deck that lowers to ground level, letting you load cars, tools, or parts without ramps, winches, or stress.

Key features for glass technicians:

  • Ground-level loading (4-degree angle) = safe for low-clearance vehicles
  • Over-the-tyre tie-downs = fast, no damage to underbody or suspension
  • 2050mm wide deck = plenty of space for modern vehicles and glass racks
  • Solo operation = one-person loading with full control
  • Tow with your work ute, van, or light truck, no special licence or flatbed needed
  • Safe for fragile parts, no bumpy ramps or steep inclines

You can even add custom side-mount racks or strap systems to haul windscreens, rear glass, or tool chests securely.

Add Pickup & Delivery to Your Glass Services

With SHIFTR in your fleet, you can offer:

  • Vehicle pickup/drop-off for insurance jobs or major repairs
  • On-site replacement with delivery of glass panels
  • Non-drivable vehicle transport between workshops and customers
  • Win-back opportunities from competitors who can’t move cars

And since it’s solo-friendly, you don’t need extra staff or additional scheduling headaches.

  1. Clean, modern design
  2. Steel-framed durability
