Bikertoberfest 2007 - Daytona Beach, FL

2007-10-24T09:12:00.000-04:00

The last major bikeweek rally of the year was a tremendous success. While the overall bike count was down approximately 30% there was still a great crowd of people out enjoying the beautiful weather. The Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce attributes the decline in attendees to the high fuel costs that are being seen across the nation.

ATC and Motiv trailers were once again on display at Robin Hanger's The Car Shop Trailer Sales located in US1 in Holly Hill, Florida. The location is tremendous for the spring and fall bike ralleys as they are strategically located between Daytona Beach and Bruce Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona Harley Davidson dealership which has become a must see hot spot during everyones visit.

The Car Shop Trailer Sales have an extremely large inventory of ATC and Motiv trailers ranging from the ever popular GTS to Motiv's line of incredible Toy Haulers and everything in between. The show was a success as quite a few retail sales were realized and contacts were made to secure future sales. Keep your eyes open as you are likely to see ATC and Motiv at the larger bike ralleys!

ATC...The Racer's Choice

2007-10-15T08:44:00.000-04:00

Racer's across the nation are seeing the value that ATC has to offer. Whether they're looking for a lightweight alternative to a steel frame trailer or simply looking for a trailer with exceptional fit and finish ATC is putting more racers into trailers than ever before.

It's not just the racecars and engines that are getting the attention, racers are taking their time and doing their homework when it comes to selecting the trailer that's going to get them to and from the track. With features like an all-aluminum, all-tube frame ATC stands apart from the other manufacturers that typically offer steel subframes and open-ended extrusions like z-rails, c-channels and I-beams.

Next time you're at the track take a moment and ask an ATC owner about their trailer, you won't be surprised to learn that they're just as excited to tell you about their trailer as they are their racecar. ATC...the choice of racers across the country!

Full Tube Construction

2007-10-08T13:56:00.000-04:00

If you're familiar with ATC you already know we build one of the finest trailers available in the industry...but did you know that we build each and every ATC trailer utilizing an ALL tube construction?

That's right, when it came to designing our frames we didn't cut corners or use inferior materials. Every structural component on an ATC trailer is built with aluminum tubing. Other manufacturers use less expensive and weaker extrusions like L-angles, I-beams, Z-rails and other open ended extrusions.

At ATC we know the foundation of every trailer begins with a solid frame, not only in design but in the materials we use. So if you're comparing our trailer to our competitors, realize what you're getting before you invest your hard-earned dollars. At ATC we build better trailers with better materials.

Understanding Value

2007-08-24T08:12:00.000-04:00

It goes without saying that ATC does not build the least expensive trailers in the market, but when it comes to purchasing a trailer the old adage, "you get what you pay for," could not be more true.

If you're ready to invest your hard earned dollars toward the purchase of a new trailer, make certain you take the time to understand the differences in the trailers you're considering. You should be looking for the greatest value possible within the budget you have to spend.

As I tell people when they're shopping for a trailer, there are two "Q's" in the trailer manufacturing business. Quality and Quantity. Most manufacturers are geared toward the "quantity" side of manufacturing...it makes sense for them, they're attempting to get the most product through there facility possible.

This kind of manufacturing mentality is not geared toward producing a high quality product, rather volume, numbers and profit at the main goal considered. While these trailers may look OK when they're new, sitting on the dealers lot, they simply aren't built in a manner that will deliver reliable and trouble-free service for any extended period.

At ATC we have always put "quality" first. Our main objective with every trailer we build is to manufacture the absolute highest quality product that will not only meet or exceed your expectations the day you purchase it, but also every year thereafter. When a skilled craftsman pours his heart and soul into his trade the finished product carries with it a part of himself. At ATC we pride ourselves on our commitment to build the absolute best trailers available in the industry.

Value is never measured by how low of a price you can purchase something for...it's gauged by the level of quality you get for the amount of money you spend. At ATC our focus is to provide exceptional value. So if you're in the market for a trailer, look beyond the lowest priced trailer, look for the greatest value...look to ATC.

Aluminum Trailers with Screwless Exteriors

2007-07-23T09:34:00.000-04:00

One of the most popular features on ATC trailers continues to be our available screwless aluminum exterior. We first introduced this option back in 2000 and it continues to grow rapidly in popularity. Many people have chosen it due to the clean looking exterior and the ease of installing graphics on the trailer.

Due to the excellent customer feedback we have received on our screwless aluminum exterior, we also offer the same great look for the interior of the trailer. Yes, if you select an aluminum interior, we install it screwless at no additional charge! Why do we do this? We do it because it looks and performs better than any other option. After all, ATC has become known for our industry-leading performance and craftsmanship, why would you expect anything different?

Myrtle Beach Bike Week

2007-07-16T13:53:00.000-04:00

Myrtle Beach Bike Week was a success this year and ATC had a little extra surprise at the booth located at Broadway at the Beach...it was one of their GTS all-aluminum, all-tube frames. People were excited to see what normally can't be seen...the actual construction that is hidden under the floor and behind the interior and exterior walls.

As one bystander stated, "Seeing is believing...and now I can better understand what puts ATC in a class all by itself." Most manufacturers wouldn't dare place their bare frame on display, but ATC is proud of their 100% all-aluminum, all-tube construction...in simple terms, there's just nothing to hide!

At ATC we realize the very core of a trailer begins with the frame and we're not willing to sacrifice quality at any level. Just because you don't normally see the frame is no reason to short change your customers...you need to deliver the highest quality product possible and the strength of our trailers begins with a quality frame built to last. Our competitors rely on the strength provided by the addition of interior walls or heavier exterior panels, but at ATC we let our designs and superior materials deliver the unmatched strength!

The frame was such a success in Myrtle Beach don't be surprised if you don't end up seeing more frames at future shows...it just shows you everything and we feel that it's important for our customers to know what they're getting for their hard-earned dollar!

Aluminum Trailers for Motorhomes

LED Clearance Lights

2007-05-09T10:55:00.000-04:00

The Aluminum Trailer Company is always searching for news ways to improve not only the quality of our trailers but the interior and exterior look as well. An important change ATC recently made was to standardize LED lights on all trailer models. LED or light emitting diodes are an example of cutting edge technology. The LED lighting concept is extremely different then traditional incandescent lights. There are three main benefits to an LED lighting system. First traditional incandescent lights use a weak metal filament which is susceptible to bumps and vibration in the road. LED's are a solid system (no moving parts) containing an electronic chip that creates a sturdy lighting device.

Secondly, LED lights are brighter then incandescent lights making them safer while traveling on the road. "In fact studies have shown that LED lights, because of there quicker and brighter response times, provide an extra 24' of stopping distance at 60 mph"** Transportation Equipment News - January 2001

Finally, LED lights consume less energy. (up to 90% less) This means your tow vehicle's electric system is not exuding as much energy to light up your tow vehicle which can help to save fuel and the life of your battery.
