Want More Profit? Rent This Car Trailer From Your Business

Do you own a tyre shop, repair workshop, or roadside business with good visibility?

You might be sitting on a missed revenue stream: a way to turn your forecourt into a profit centre: by renting out SHIFTR hydraulic car trailers.

SHIFTR is a self-loading car trailer that’s perfect for rental use, especially in areas where customers need to move vehicles quickly and affordably.

It’s built to be safe, solo-operated, and simple for anyone to use. And with the right setup, this single car hauler could start earning you money from the spot it’s already parked.

Every Day, Someone in Your Area Needs to Move a Vehicle

You might be surprised how much demand there is for renting car trailers:

  • Flat tyres and non-runners
  • Car enthusiasts picking up a project car
  • Weekend racers heading to an event
  • People buying or selling vehicles privately
  • DIYers moving motorcycles, ATVs, or side-by-sides
  • Small workshops without tow trucks needing a quick solution

Most of these people don’t have access to a car trailer, or any trailer at all.

Often, a standard rental trailer isn’t suitable for a low car or track build. Using one could lead to costly damage.

Many people in this situation want a cost-effective, safe car hauler trailer. They don’t want to drive 30 minutes to a depot. They also don’t want to deal with old, unsafe equipment.

If you’ve got space, street visibility, and foot traffic, you’ve got the ideal setup to rent SHIFTR trailers.

Why SHIFTR Trailers Are Ideal for Public Rental Use

SHIFTR’s built-in features make it renter-friendly and workshop-proof:

  • Remote-controlled hydraulic deck = safe, ground-level loading and unloading
  • No ramps or guesswork: customers can use it confidently
  • Over-the-tyre tie-down system is intuitive and fast
  • 2050mm wide deck fits most cars, motorcycles, and powersports vehicles
  • Tows behind a standard ute, SUV, or light truck, no special licence needed
  • Steel-framed durability for commercial-grade reliability
  • Built-in LED lights that aren’t easily damaged like traditional trailer lights

This isn’t a flimsy, worn-out car hauler. SHIFTR trailers are built with high-quality materials, look professional, work reliably, and keep your customers safe and confident.

Easy to Maintain, Even if a Renter Breaks Something

Rentals come with the risk of occasional wear or damage, but with SHIFTR, it’s easy to manage.

  • Parts are available directly through the SHIFTR website
  • Genuine SHIFTR Spare Parts are in stock and easy to order online
  • Most repairs require basic hand tools and can be handled in-house
  • Modular components allow for fast replacement

No waiting months for proprietary parts. No expensive downtime. Just simple, fast servicing to keep your trailer earning.

Turn Your Space Into Revenue

Whether you rent it out for:

  • $150+ per day
  • Half-day rates
  • Weekend bundles with accessories
  • Or upsell to customers getting tyres or repairs

You’re creating a new revenue stream with little to no added staffing, space, or equipment.

Most tyre shops already have the:

  • Visibility
  • Parking space
  • Customer base
  • Staff knowledge

All that’s missing? SHIFTR.

Let It Pay for Itself, Without the Guesswork

With a starting price of $16,995 NZD, SHIFTR is a serious asset and an easy one to monetise.

With rental rates typically ranging per day and weekend packages available, most businesses can recover the initial investment in 40–60 rental transactions, depending on pricing and utilisation.

And because SHIFTR trailers offer smart design, minimal maintenance, compact storage, and a premium appearance, they continue earning with very little ongoing effort.

It’s an asset that works just sitting out front with a sign on it.

Ready to Turn Parking into Profit?

If you’re a tyre shop, small service centre, or roadside business that already serves customers in motion, give them one more reason to stop in.
