The second level is a full length fixed floor, and the car lift is on the outside of the trailer. Or a rail lift may be used. lift may be. This type of lift, housed completely inside the stacker trailer, has a stationary platform that moves up and down inside the stacker trailer. In this type of car lift, the second level is fixed in front of the lift mechanism. Both have their benefits. The rear gate lift frees up floor space inside the trailer for other uses. However, the rear gate lift requires additional space behind and above the trailer to operate. The interior rail lift is typically less expensive.
Stacker trailers are commonly towed by Class A motor homes. Stacker trailers are similar height to Class A motor homes and can be painted to match the tow vehicle.
