Zero-Degree Transport for Cars That Can't Scrape
Zero-degree towing uses a deck that lays completely flat on the ground — a true 0° load angle instead of the 8–12° of a conventional rollback. That difference is the entire reason your splitter, lip, exhaust, and air dam survive the load. It is the method exotic dealers, collectors, and restoration shops across Southern California ask for by name.
Built for Precious Cargo
Standard flatbeds load at around 10–12 degrees. That's fine for most cars — and a disaster for lowered suspensions, deep front lips, and classic cars with fragile chrome. Our zero-degree trucks pivot the entire deck flush to the ground. The car rolls on at a true zero-degree angle. Nothing scrapes. Nothing bends. If your build sits under about four inches of clearance, this is the truck you want, and it is the truck we will send.
Wheel Straps Only — Never Chains
We secure exotics and lowered cars with wheel straps, never chains. Straps hold the tires, not the frame or the suspension, so nothing is stressed in transit and no hook ever touches a control arm or a subframe. This is the OEM-approved method used by Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini dealers, and it is the only method we use on this equipment.
What We Move on Zero-Degree
Lowered and bagged builds. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Pagani, Bugatti. Classic and vintage show cars. JDM and Euro tuner builds running body kits. Concours-condition restorations where the paint is the whole point. Race cars and track-prep transport. Museum and auction delivery. Vehicles with aftermarket splitters and aero that a conventional rollback would tear off on the approach.
Where This Comes Up
Southern California has more exotic and collector metal per mile than anywhere in the country, and it is concentrated: Newport Beach, Irvine, and the coastal Orange County corridor; the Beverly Hills and West LA collector belt; and the dealer and restoration shops through the San Gabriel Valley. Our Costa Mesa and Orange branches cover the OC exotic corridor, and Whittier HQ anchors LA County. Track days at Willow Springs and Chuckwalla, auction weeks, and concours events all run through these same trucks.
Door-to-Door, In State and Out
We run door-to-door zero-degree transport throughout California and across state lines — dealer-to-dealer, residence-to-residence, restoration shop to concours lawn, auction house to private collection. We work with Mecum, Barrett-Jackson, and Bonhams sale logistics, and with private collectors and museums who need a truck that shows up clean and a driver who knows not to touch the paint.
Insurance and Documentation
Hadley carries full commercial cargo coverage and on-hook insurance sized for high-value loads. We can provide a Certificate of Insurance to your insurer, dealer, or auction house on request, before the truck rolls. Condition is documented at intake and at delivery.
If It Won't Roll, We Still Have a Truck
Not every collector car is a runner. Non-running, seized, and project vehicles still load on the zero-degree deck by winch, and heavier or non-rolling builds move on a Landoll detach trailer — see equipment and machinery transport. Whatever the state of the car, it is still a Hadley truck and a Hadley driver.
