Ifor Williams CTX208 Tiltbed Beavertail Car Transporter Trailer
The Ifor Williams CTX208 is the latest generation car transporter from Ifor Williams Trailers, engineered to deliver exceptional performance, versatility and reliability for professional vehicle transport and recovery applications.
With a 3,500kg gross weight, generous 6.04m x 2.30m loading bed and a payload of up to 2,510kg in its standard configuration, the CTX208 is designed to accommodate a wide range of vehicles – from everyday cars and commercial vehicles to performance and low-ground-clearance vehicles.
The CTX208 combines heavy-duty construction with a low bed height and shallow loading angles, making vehicle loading straightforward while helping to minimise the risk of damage to vehicles with low ground clearance. With a fully tilted loading angle of as little as 5°, the CTX208 is particularly well suited to specialist and performance vehicle transport.
Built around heavy-duty cross members, high tensile steel, full hot-dip galvanising, Ifor Williams manufactured axles and heavy-duty leaf spring suspension, the CTX208 is designed to withstand the demands of regular professional use.
The trailer also features a range of thoughtful details designed to make day-to-day operation easier. Anti-clatter spring hangers, bump stops and ramp hold-down plates help provide quiet towing, while the largely bolted construction allows key components to be replaced individually should damage occur.
Whether you're involved in roadside recovery, vehicle transportation, motorsport, specialist vehicle movement or general professional use, the Ifor Williams CTX208 provides a highly configurable platform built around the demands of modern vehicle transport.

🚗 Designed for Professional Vehicle Transport
The CTX208 has been developed to handle a wide range of vehicle transport requirements, from roadside recovery and vehicle transportation to carrying specialist and high-value vehicles. Its combination of a low bed height, shallow loading angle, extensive lashing points and configurable centre deck provides the flexibility needed for a wide variety of applications.
🪜 Quick-Deploy Loading Ramps
The CTX208's loading ramps are designed for fast and convenient deployment. A heavy-duty rear channel runs the full width of the trailer, allowing the ramp position to be adjusted to suit a wide range of vehicle track widths.
When not in use, the ramps stow below bed height to help minimise trip hazards. Ergonomic latches and dedicated ramp hold-down plates keep the ramps securely stored during towing.
🔗 Secure Vehicle Lashing
With lashing points positioned at approximately 75mm centres along the trailer bed, the CTX208 provides an extensive range of tie-down positions for securely restraining vehicles.
The arrangement is designed to provide excellent flexibility when positioning vehicles and offers full compatibility with up-and-over vehicle straps.
⚙️ Configurable Centre Deck
The centre section of the CTX208 can be configured to suit the intended application. It can be left open to maximise available payload, or equipped with deck infill panels and/or toolboxes to create additional usable space.
This flexible design allows the CTX208 to be configured around the individual requirements of vehicle recovery operators, transport businesses, workshops and specialist users.
