Haul King Chooses Hyundai EX9 Tilt Trays with Allison Transmissions To Provide Prestige Vehicles the Smoothest Ride Around

SYDNEY, Australia, 30 October 2024 – Transporting high-value, luxury vehicles is a precision operation, and Haul King Towing has built its growing business using Hyundai EX9 (Extra Long Wheel Base) Tilt Tray trucks equipped with Allison 1000 SeriesTM 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 Ahmed Eloss, Co-Owner, Haul King. “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 $10M AUD 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,” he added.

“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,” said Eloss.

“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 straight forward. 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,” Eloss said.

“Hyundai has two more EX9 Tilt Tray trucks similar to Haul King’s that are equipped with Allisons in country. They’re ready for others looking to move cargo using our generous tilt range that delivers the smoothest of driving experiences,” said Daryl Thornton, General Manager, Hyundai Commercial Vehicles Australia.

The popularity of Allison Transmission, a leading designer and manufacturer of conventional, electric hybrid and fully electric vehicle propulsion solutions, 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, which ultimately impacts a business’s bottom line,” he concluded.
