Controls & Remotes
Car hauling is a one-person job most of the time, and that one person needs to be at the back of the trailer watching the vehicle load — not in the cab operating controls they can’t see. Wireless remotes let the operator tilt the deck, run the winch, and control bed functions while guiding the vehicle onto the carrier. The 4-function wireless adds control over auxiliary functions like wheel stops or secondary winch lines. The toggle switch and pendant remotes serve operators who prefer the reliability of a wired connection, especially in high-volume lots where interference from other equipment is a factor.
2 Function Wireless Control System | PS Series
Two-function wireless remote for operating tilt deck and winch from anywhere around the trailer. The car hauling operator can stand at the ramp watching ground clearance and guiding the vehicle while controlling the bed and winch wirelessly.
Universal Momentary Pendant Control - 2 Button
Simple two-button pendant for basic winch operation during vehicle loading. A reliable, no-frills control for operators who run the winch while standing at the trailer ramp guiding vehicles onto the carrier.
2 Function Dump Trailer Wireless System | PS Series
Purpose-built wireless system for trailer-mounted operations. Car haulers running tilt-deck or ramp trailers can operate the tilt and winch functions wirelessly while positioned at the back of the trailer watching the vehicle load.
4 Function Wireless Control System | PS Series
Four-function wireless remote for car hauling rigs with multiple hydraulic circuits — tilt deck, winch, wheel stops, and auxiliary functions all controlled from a single handheld transmitter.
PIERCE Toggle Switch Remote - 20ft Cord - 4 Prong Vulcanized Plug
Hardwired toggle switch remote for reliable dump and tilt control. Popular with car haulers who prefer a wired connection that works consistently in busy lots where wireless interference from nearby equipment can be a factor.
Hydraulic Power Units
Hydraulic power units run the tilt decks, ramps, and bed functions on car hauling trailers and rollback carriers. The power up / gravity down unit is the workhorse for standard tilt-deck trailers where the bed tilts under its own weight. The 2-way power up / power down unit gives operators precise control over bed angle during loading — critical when pulling low-clearance vehicles onto a carrier where the approach angle needs to be managed carefully to avoid scraping bumpers or splitters.
Bucher Power-Up / Gravity-Down HPU | 6 qt Poly
The standard power unit for tilt-deck car hauling trailers. Powers the bed up under load and gravity handles the tilt-down — simple, reliable operation for the repetitive load/unload cycles of daily car hauling.
Bucher 2-Way Hydraulic Power Unit | 3 qt Poly
Compact two-way hydraulic power unit for car hauling trailers and carriers. Powers tilt-deck and ramp hydraulics with a reliable, self-contained unit that mounts cleanly on the trailer frame.
Bucher 2-Way Hydraulic Power Unit | 2 gal Poly
Two-way power up / power down unit for car hauling trailers where controlled bed descent is critical. Low-clearance vehicles — lowered cars, sports cars with front splitters — need a precisely controlled approach angle during loading to avoid scraping.
Recovery Winches
Recovery winches pull non-running vehicles onto carriers and trailers. Most passenger vehicles fall well within the 9,000 to 12,000 lb winch range, but the real demand is duty cycle — a car hauler loading and unloading multiple vehicles per day puts far more hours on a winch than occasional recovery use. Replacement motors for the PS6000 and PS15000/PS20000 series keep working winches in service, which matters for haulers who can’t afford downtime waiting on a full winch replacement.
12,000 lb Electric Recovery Winch | 12V Planetary
The higher-capacity winch for pulling full-size trucks, SUVs, and heavier vehicles onto carriers. Handles the heavier end of the passenger vehicle range and provides extra margin for non-running vehicles on wet or gravel surfaces.
9,000 lb Electric Recovery Winch | 12V Planetary
Handles pulling most passenger vehicles — sedans, coupes, and compact SUVs — onto carriers and trailers. The 9,000 lb rating provides solid margin over typical passenger vehicle weights for non-running pulls.
PS6000 Replacement Motor | Style 1 Slotted Shaft
Replacement motor for the PS6000 series. Keeps lighter-duty winch setups operational on car hauling trailers and smaller carriers without a full winch replacement.
