Transporting high-value, luxury vehicles is a precision operation, and Haul King Towing has built its growing business using Hyundai EX9 tilt tray trucks equipped with Allison 1000 Series xFE transmissions.
“The cargo we move is often very rare and has a high market value. Our customers place a considerable amount of trust in us to safely transport their prized vehicles,” said Haul King co-owner, Ahmed Eloss.
“It is not uncommon for Haul King to be moving Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The most expensive car we’ve transported was a Pagani Huayra with a street value of nearly $10 million when you factor in its customisations.
“Most of the expensive cars are lowered – and some are super-lowered – so we set out to provide the lowest tray possible to ensure the smoothest traveling experience for these finely-tuned machines.
“Hyundai helped us obtain what we believe are the lowest tilt trays in the country. That’s important to car enthusiasts because their vehicles have low profile tyres and very precious machinery only inches from the ground.
“I used to drive bigger trucks – both manual and automatic. But for vehicles like this, I recommend an automatic – a reliable one that offers a smooth experience and no unexpected movements. Sometimes shifting gears in a manual truck – or even an AMT – can create a jerking movement as the gears change. We don’t want to risk any damage to luxury cars and that’s why we wanted Allisons in our trucks.
“Allison transmissions are also the most straightforward. You’re not messing around waiting for gears to shift. So, in addition to not creating unwanted movement, it also takes off when you want it to take off and you don’t lose time traveling across a busy city.”
The popularity of Allison Transmission, which manufacturers conventional, electric hybrid and fully electric vehicle products, has continued to grow in the transport and delivery market.
“Allison fully automatic transmissions offer many benefits, including easy operation, smooth shifting and uninterrupted power delivery. These features make doing the job that much easier,” said Robert Cavagnino, Australian Sales Manager, Allison Transmission.
“Seasoned drivers know how to get the most out of vehicles. And they also appreciate that automatic transmissions can provide tangible returns including reduced downtime so vehicles can spend more time on the road, leading to increased productivity and efficiency.”
