If you’re into racing, by necessity, you’re probably also into car hauler trailers…and you know there is a huge variety of them out there. More than likely you have purchased more than one – and if so, you know that one of the first decisions you have to make is whether to build your trailer out of aluminum or steel. Steel frame trailers have been around longer and certainly cost less than aluminum; however, aluminum has become extremely popular for all types of trailers, including car haulers.
What are the advantages, you ask? Why would anyone pay more for aluminum? Well, the first one most people talk about is the weight difference. Aluminum is definitely lighter than steel. The average aluminum frame is 10 to 20 percent lighter than the identical steel frame. However, that isn’t the only benefit. One of the best things about aluminum is its rust and corrosion resistance. Your aluminum trailer will maintain its beautiful appearance year after year with very little upkeep, while you would have to keep a constant watch on your steel trailer for rust. This also makes the resale value of an aluminum trailer higher than steel.
Another thing to keep in mind with aluminum car hauler trailers is that once you enter the arena of aluminum trailers, you are looking at a whole new realm of quality, fit and finish. Once a company commits to building an aluminum trailer, they quickly learn to step up to a much greater level. This is especially true at ATC, where the Quest, our aluminum car hauler trailer, is the only true all-aluminum trailer on the market today.
