It seems like everybody and their brother defines a utility trailer as something different. If you do a Google search for utility trailer, you’ll find everything from a 4′ wide open trailer all the way up to a 53′ semi trailer rig. So, I guess that didn’t exactly narrow my search. Next, I thought I would see what the good old Webster Dictionary had to say about utility trailers. Since we all know what the word trailer means, let’s just look at the word utility. Webster defines utility as “something useful or designed for a use”. B-I-N-G-O!!! This fits very well with how ATC and Motiv Trailers view the broad definition of utility trailers.
Here at ATC and Motiv the term “utility trailer” doesn’t have anything to do with a trailer size or style, it has all to do with a trailers design to do a specific or function or task for the owner. What is the specific task you need your trailer to do? ATC and Motiv can design a trailer to do that exact job flawlessly.
Many customers come to us and start the conversation asking for a competitive price on a given model. Too many times, this is the wrong way to evaluate a utility trailer purchase. We first want to know, what are you using the utility trailer for and how you plan on using it. From that point we can help guide you into either a standard utility trailer or one that offers conveniences that cater to your exact needs. When you are contemplating your next utility trailer, let the experts at ATC and Motiv guide you though the process and help you find the perfect trailer that is designed for your specific use!

Back in the day before kids, my wife and I used to deliver trailers on a semi-regular basis. We had always delivered bumper pull trailers, but my wife quickly got tired of the truck rocking up and down as we went over the bumps in the road. One day I brought my carsick-prone wife along as I delivered a gooseneck trailer and the whole world changed in her eyes. With a gooseneck trailer the cab of the truck rode smooth and straight and didn’t buck up and down over the bumps.
So why is it that a gooseneck trailer pulls so much smoother than a typical tag trailer? With a gooseneck trailer the weight of the trailer is distributed directly over the rear axle of the truck. The truck suspension is then able to carry the weight of the trailer without bouncing the frame of the truck (and the cab) all over the road. In a typical bumper pull trailer, the weight of the trailer resides about four feet behind the rear axle of the truck. When the truck and trailer hit the all-to-common bumps in the road, the suspension of the rear axle can only absorb so much form such a great distance away.
Now, don’t get me wrong, our ATC and Motiv bumper pull trailers pull very well, but when you compare a 30′ tag trailer to a 38′ gooseneck trailer, it just isn’t a fair comparison. The 38′ gooseneck trailer will pull smoother every day of the week. Why not look at some of our gooseneck trailers now!

The Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) has been building an all aluminum open car hauler since early 2001. ATC builds an all aluminum open car trailer that offers the best fit and finish available and the best value. ATC ’s sales, engineering and production teams work together to design and manufacture one of the lightest, strongest, and best towing open car trailers on the market.
ATC has designed its open car hauler with an extruded deck and a full perimeter frame. We have an open car hauler designed strong enough to handle up to 6000 pounds without the need for steel reinforcements. This unique design allows ATC to build one of the lightest and strongest open car haulers in the industry. ATC’s perimeter frame open car hauler design differs from our competitors design in that our sub frames strength comes from our tube frame which runs all the way to the outside of our sub frame. Not like most open car haulers that rely on a frame that includes outriggers as a key part of the structure.
ATC builds open car haulers in lengths from 16′, 18′ and 20′. ATC offers open car haulers with tandem 3500# axles and with tandem 5200# axles. Standard features on an ATC open car hauler include: 4 recessed D rings in the floor, all aluminum construction, extruded floor decking, rear storing loading ramps, removeable fenders, LED lights, and radial tires.

It has a nice sound to it, doesn’t it? Have you heard of us? The Motiv name is relatively new to the steel trailer market. Prior to 2006, the company was known as TN Trailers, a sister company of ATC. However, in the fall of 2006, we unveiled such radical changes to our steel trailer line we just had to give it a new name. And hence the name “Motiv” and the concept of “Innovation In Motion” was born. We took a decent, if somewhat typical, line of steel trailers to an entirely different level, unheard of in the steel trailer industry. For the last three years, Motiv has been building steel car haulers, motorcycle trailers, and custom commercial trailers with incredible quality and durability.
Even our logo has motion in it – it’s a perfect symbol for our streamlined, modernized, high class steel trailers. And if you look a little closer, you’ll see the words “by ATC” next to our name. That’s important, because the same precision and craftsmanship that makes our world class ATC trailers goes into each and every Motiv steel trailer we build. Motiv Trailers are designed by the same engineers and produced by the same custom builders. If you want an ATC but can’t quite afford aluminum, Motiv can offer you the same incredible quality at the lower steel price. It all comes down to one final conclusion: there is really only one company out there that can meet every single trailer need, and that’s ATC and Motiv Trailers.

Many manufacturers claim to build an aluminum trailer. Visit a few retail outlets and you can find several manufacturers who claim to build an aluminum trailer. Aluminum trailers to most mean that they contain some aluminum in the frame of the trailer…similar to what many think of wheat bread. Wheat bread can be made with wheat flour or 100% whole grain wheat. At ATC Trailers, our aluminum trailer frame and structure are 100% aluminum. The carriage around the running gear, and the tongue area particularly on gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers are typical areas where our competitors use steel. These areas are areas of high stress, and our competitors use steel because it is cheaper and easier than engineering a structure using high grade structural aluminum. What is the benefit of an aluminum trailer over its steel counterpart? Aluminum weighs less than steel and…the same structure in aluminum is 10-15% lighter than a similar steel trailer. Replacing aluminum with steel decreases the weight difference, minimizing this benefit. Aluminum is resistant to road salt, water, and the other corrosive materials that destroy steel. In most aluminum trailers, the under carriage area and the tongue area are the most vulnerable to these corrosive materials when traveling so once again the benefit of aluminum is minimized on our competitors’ trailers. Take a look underneath the competitors’ trailers and then look under an ATC brand trailer! That’s where you can really see what an all aluminum trailer really looks like…and the next time you need bread, reach for that 100% whole wheat loaf.

Not all trailer manufacturers build customized trailers, and of those that do choose to take on this daunting task, very few of them do it exceptionally well. In order to succeed in the customized trailer market you must have knowledgeable trailer experience, and a highly skilled engineering department. It is scary the amount of customers that come to us and have shopped around for a customized trailer and come back with sketches provided by other manufacturers that are basically written on a bar napkin.
If not done properly, customized trailers can wreak havoc on manufacturers and can become nightmares for the retail customer. At ATC and Motiv, we begin the process by learning how you want to use customized trailer. We then provide accurate costing and evaluation for what the project will entail and cost. And before we begin welding your customized trailer, we will present and require your approval on our customized 3-D engineered drawings. And guess what, if the drawings don’t meet your approval, we’ll draw them again until it is perfect.
Here at ATC and Motiv we have build our business around the fulfilling exact customer needs on customized trailers. Some of the recent custom projects we have taken on are, Level I Ballistics trailers of government, 27′ long slide out mechanisms for mobile baggage scanning, air lift hooks capable of picking up the trailer from four roof mounted hooks, ramp doors on both ends of the trailer for a drive though design and mobile communication trailers capable of linking to satellites even when typical phone lines are down.
At ATC and Motiv, customized trailers are our specialty, give us a call or check out our custom trailers page on our website and you’ll see right away why we are the best in the business!

Well…that may be a slight exaggeration…but it really is one of the most well-known locations in the industry for producing a huge variety of trailers and RV’s. Within this relatively small geographic area, you can find hundreds of businesses that are either trailer manufacturers or suppliers for those companies. And Nappanee, the small town that’s home to ATC and Motiv Trailers, is right there in the midst of all this.
As you can imagine, that has a huge impact on our business and the product we make. On the positive side, it’s great to have most of our vendors so close. It means we can get the latest innovations immediately – or, if we can’t find a product that meets our needs, we can simply have it designed. If you want custom painting, spray-in insulation, or even a hardwood floor in your trailer, all those experts are right here at our fingertips. It can definitely present a challenge from time to time – when you’re surrounded by trailer manufacturers, the competition is fierce. But we welcome that challenge, because it has driven us to design and build a trailer that is far superior to anything else available. So many trailer manufacturers build cookie-cutter trailers, all identical to what the guy down the street is doing, all striving to build as many trailers possible. That is not our goal at ATC and Motiv Trailers. Instead, we focus on quality and craftsmanship, and building a trailer that exceeds your expectations every single time. It’s that commitment that makes ATC and Motiv stand out in the crowd!

There are many companies out there that make concession trailers, some of them are good, some of them are low quality knockoffs. At ATC & Motiv Trailers we make high quality, long lasting trailers that you will be happy with for the life of your trailer. Whether you want a turn key unit or just a shell to install your own equipment we can build the unit for you. Our concession trailers feature a frame up design that starts with a completely custom engineered drawing. When we start to build your vending trailer, it starts in the weld shop as a concession trailer from the start. That means that you have a stronger trailer that was designed to be a concession trailer so you will have years of worry free use. Other concession trailer vendors will buy simple cargo trailers and cut and hack away at them to add doors and windows. This retrofitting can hurt the frame of the trailer and cause future issues. If you have ever seen an ATC trailer you know the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every unit we build. We put the same effort into our concession trailers that we do on our custom stackers, emergency response trailers and every other project we work on. We understand that when you as a customer are happy with a trailer you help us sell more trailers and after many years of use will be a return customer to buy your next trailer from ATC & Motiv Trailers. Contact us today or stop by a dealership to see one or our units, we know you will be able to tell the difference!

There are dealers everywhere, for all sorts of products…but what is it that they really do? It can get confusing, especially with the broad trailer market. Technically speaking, a dealer is anyone who sells on behalf of another company or organization – whether it is cars, antiques, or trailers. They should be highly trained and specialized in that product, and a good trailer dealer will offer an authorized service center and parts department. Sadly, some places fall far short of these expectations. However, the vast majority of trailer dealers offer the best products and services available.
This is especially the case with ATC and Motiv trailer dealers. We will only sell our product through the best dealer network out there. Our dealers are specialists in our custom all-aluminum ATC and high quality steel Motiv lines. Cargo trailers, race trailers, motorcycle or toy haulers – they are experts on it all, and often have it in stock right there on their lots. And if it’s a custom-built trailer you’re looking for, nobody is better qualified than our dealers to help you design your perfect trailer. We work closely with our dealers, every step of the process – from the initial rough quote, to the custom drawn blueprints, on the production line, and finally delivery. And we have seen satisfied customers, time and time again. Our dealers are the type that inspire customer loyalty, and will take care of you long after you’ve picked up your trailer. So if you’re in the market for a top-notch, superior quality trailer, just check our dealer locator at www.aluminumtrailer.com/find a dealer – or give us a call toll-free at 877-441-2440. We will hook you up with the best trailer dealers in the business!

I typed Car Haulers in my Google search engine and it came back with over 1 million hits on those keywords. Every kind of car hauler you could possibly imagine, steel, aluminum, open, fully enclosed, 1 car to 10 car haulers are all available at every price range. Given all these options, how does a consumer decide which one best fits his or her needs? The most important factor in selecting your car hauler is finding the right manufacturer. Understanding the company’s mission, is it to be the price leader or the highest quality product with the most expensive parts, to be the largest volume producer, to be the most recognized name in car haulers, to offer the gamut of car haulers. Obviously the mission of the car hauler manufacturer will dictate the final product affecting everything from the design of the car hauler to the delivery process. How many years has the manufacturer been building car haulers? There is constant change…car dimensions change, consumer preferences change, more storage, sleeping quarters, bathroom facilities, awnings, entrance door widths, rear ramp door heights, tow vehicle capabilities. You want a manufacturer who has the knowledge and experience to understand your needs, not only for your trailer but for resale, you want a trailer that holds its market value. ATC & Motiv Trailers is a niche manufacturer of enclosed car haulers and has been for the last 8 years building car haulers for the weekend race enthusiast, the classic car buff, and for the professional race team. Our sales team along with our design and structural engineers knowledge and experience insure that every car hauler manufactured by ATC & Motiv Trailers is built to our customers exacting standards equipped especially for them.

What’s in a name? Here at the Aluminum Trailer Company, we think our name pretty much says it all. We are THE premium aluminum trailer manufacturer. World class, precision built aluminum trailers are our primary objective. Even our website, www.aluminumtrailer.com, shows our dedication to building nothing but the best quality aluminum trailer. The founders of the Aluminum Trailer Company had a ton of clever ideas when it was time to name their new company, but in the end, they decided to keep it simple and to the point. Some may think it’s not the most original name in the world, but we think it just shows our commitment to our product…and our single-minded pursuit of aluminum trailer excellence. Of course, the Aluminum Trailer Company can be a bit of a mouthful – so we usually shorten it to ATC. And we always include our top notch line of steel trailers, Motiv, in our full company name, logos, letterhead, etc. But from day one, ATC has always been driven to design and produce the best all-aluminum trailer in the industry. As a matter of fact, we are the only true all-aluminum trailer out there. Our tube construction gives our trailers incredible strength while keeping weight to a minimum – and the aluminum frame will stand the test of time while other trailers fall apart.

 There are many reasons why an ATC or Motiv stacker trailer might be right for you. Most of our customers choose to go with a stacker trailer because they have multiple vehicles or extensive cargo and already have a heavy duty tow vehicle. ATC and Motiv stacker trailers are built in either the bumper pull or gooseneck design.
There are many lift options that can be installed in your custom stacker trailer. The old tried and true method is to install a standard 14′ hydraulic 4-post lift. These lifts can be installed with a split rail, full floor or with a removable center panel design. Seeing as how we are “The Aluminum Trailer Company” we thought we would be remiss if we did not offer a complete aluminum frame lift. Back in 2001 we engineered and designed our first all aluminum lift system and have been improving it ever since. On of the largest benefits to all aluminum lift system is the light weigh design. When compared to a traditional steel frame lift, an aluminum frame lift can save aprox 400#. We also offer a full rear lift gate model for our tag and gooseneck stacker trailers. A liftgate trailer allows for greater efficiency loading and has been very popular in many race crowds.
Make sure you check out our stacker trailer gallery on our website at http://www.aluminumtrailer.com/stacker trailers. Go ahead and raise your expectations, you will be blown away with our innovate line of stacker trailers.

It may seem to be a strange time of year to be talking about snowmobile trailers, but we have actually had a ton of interest about these recently at ATC and Motiv. Winter isn’t quite over yet, and one of the best ways to enjoy it is to take your fun on the road with an ATC all-aluminum snowmobile trailer. Our incredibly strong yet lightweight all-tube construction is the best design to haul your toys over mountain roads. All of our snowmobile trailers feature a V-nose design for the most convenient drive-off unloading possible. No need to turn your tow vehicle – just lower the 58″ wide front ramp door and head out to enjoy the great outdoors! Our 8.5′ wide models are built with a deckover design to ensure maximum room inside. Got ATV’s? These trailers were designed to haul those with ease!
As always with ATC and Motiv, we build your trailer any way you want it. You can keep it simple and rugged with our basic standard model – or you can really trick it out with our popular options like fuel doors, white vinyl or aluminum interior walls, and cabinets to store your helmets and other gear. If steel is your choice, check out our Motiv line of steel snowmobile trailers. With Motiv, you can get all the style and quality of an ATC trailer for a more economical price. Since winter seems to be hanging on for a little while longer, we all might as well get outside and enjoy ourselves!
