Completing the Package - GTS / Boss Hoss / Porsche

I've heard it time and time again, "I've got a nice truck and a great bike...what I need now is a trailer that compliments them." Well, there's little doubt from anyone that the GTS is THE premier motorcycle trailer in the industry. Time and time again cyclists are "completing their package" and investing in a GTS.
During the 2006 Daytona Bike Week rally I was fortunate enough to help one of our customers "complete the package." He had a Boss Hoss with a beautiful custom paint job and the big V-8 motor! His tow vehicle, none other than a Porsche Cayenne...so you want to talk about someone eager to complete the package, this was it! When you have these kind of "toys" you're not interested in a run of the mill trailer, you're looking for something that sets you apart from the crowd...you just won't settle for the ordinary!
Well, enter the GTS; and our customer couldn't have been more excited about his new trailer. A black Porsche Cayenne pulling a black GTS, it really just doesn't get much better than that...that is until he unloads his Boss Hoss. It's not hard to imagine what a spectacle it is when he drops the rear ramp door and fires up his Boss Hoss V-8 engine...backing this machine out of the GTS is quite a site.
You don't have to own a Boss Hoss or a Porsche Cayenne to appreciate the superior quality, fit and finish of a GTS (but it doesn't hurt)!

Aluminum Trailer Frames
What makes ATC trailers the best in the business? While our attention to detail and overall craftsmanship has gained a lot of attention, the best part of our trailers may be the part that you have never seen. Its our frame! ATC builds an all-aluminum frame that is durable enough for even the most rigorous commercial applications.
Keep in mind, when we say all-aluminum frame, we mean all-aluminum frame. We are the only aluminum trailer manufacturer that can claim that "every structural member of the trailer frame is 100% aluminum." Try taking that to the other manufacturers.

Screwless Aluminum Exterior On Trailers
There are numerous standard features and available options the Aluminum Trailer Company offers on their high quality all aluminum trailer. One feature that has visibly improved the appearance of a trailer is the screwless aluminum exterior. Many trailer manufacturers either rivet or screw the aluminum sheet into the side wall. This application is distracting from the beauty of the trailer especially if graphics are being applied to personalize the trailer.
ATC uses a 3M product called VHB to create a screwless exterior. VHB is a technologically advanced adhesive that bonds the aluminum skin to the side wall. Not only does this product create a smooth finish for the exterior, it also fills irregularities and gaps between surfaces to help keep out both water and dirt.
Not only is screwless exterior a pickable option on every trailer we build, it also comes standard on our GTS, Fastlane and Toy Haulers!

Aluminum Trailer Company Warranty
The Aluminum Trailer Company's warranty is a 3 year limited warranty program that begins from the date of purchase. ATC's warranty is non-transferable and is limited to defects within the workmanship that was performed by ATC. Various components of the trailer such as tires, wheels, axles, coupler, jack, windows and doors are covered by the original equipment manufacturers and should be filed with them.
Our warranty also covers all electrical work and wiring for up to one year. ATC is flexible and willing to allow various repair facilities to correct the problem if the trailer cannot be returned to ATC.
The 3M VHB tape that ATC uses for creating a screwless exterior is also covered in ATC's warranty. It is important to remember that there is a limited temperature rating on this product. In extreme situations, if the unit exceeds this temperature, this may cause bonding issues with the screwless exterior. If problems arise ATC will rivet or screw in the walls as part of our warranty procedure.

Dog House Trailers for Oil Companies in Texas

The Aluminum Trailer Company is currently working on custom mobile solutions for the advancing petroleum industry. Pictured above a new innovative tool trailer. This particular design allowed the customer to eliminate the need for a cdl driver and a huge semi type truck. ATC converted what they had on the back of a flatbed truck and turned it into a light weight aluminum solution that did not compromise the ruggedness needed.
Luxury Aluminum Motorcycle Trailers

ATC has created a new niche in the motorcycle trailer market for "Luxury Aluminum Motorcycle Trailers". We decided to tap into this market about four years ago for three key reasons. 1)We are really good at building high-end trailers. 2)We heard our customers asking for a "better" motorcycle trailer. 3) Lastly, we never understood why someone would spend $25,000 (and much, much more) on a nice bike and then haul it to a rally in a junky steel trailer.
We recognize that our motorcycle trailers do cost more than some of the "other guys". We designed our trailers are for the guys and gals out there who are truly passionate about great biking. We know we are in a smaller market than the mass-produced motorcycle trailers, but it sure puts a warm spot in our hearts knowing that we build the best trailer that money can buy.
Take a good look at our motorcycle offerings. They look great in photos, but you really have to see one in person to fully understand the passion that goes into each and everyone of our motorcycle trailers.
