Four years ago the Aluminum Trailer Company began to build its first Dog House trailer.  With our company being located in Indiana I had never even heard the term Dog House trailer.  Nabors well service was looking for a way to lighten their load and design a dog house trailer that would be better for their service crews (Rough Necks).

When I ended up seeing my first dog house trailer I could see how they got their name.  As you look at the back of a dog house trailer it would have one entry door with a round top roof looking much like a dog house for two legged creatures.  If you take a moment to see (picture) what Nabors and ATC designed looked nothing like a dog house trailer of the past.  This trailer was designed to be pulled with a ¾ ton truck, it was very rugged, and provided a great environment for the crews to get break from the harsh elements they work in.

I had the opportunity to deliver the first Aluminum Trailer Company Dog House trailer to Nabors.  It was great opportunity to meat some of the staff at the corporate offices in Houston Texas.  The attached picture is of the very first trailer we delivered them.  As the corporate leaders toured the custom dog house trailer they decided to add even more features to keep their crews happy.  For instance we added a microwave, refrigerator, generator and air conditioning.  Nabors now has the nicest Dog House trailer in the industry.  If your company needs to build one dog house trailer or a fleet of dog house trailers please give us a call.  ATC can produce an inexpensive base unit or the dog house trailer with everything you could ever want.

If you call most trailer manufacturers to inquire about a specialty trailer, you’ll find it’s really not something they’re excited to build.  The bigger companies in the trailer market prefer to crank out standard trailers, the same thing every time.  It’s much more difficult and time-consuming to build a quality specialty trailer.  But here at ATC and Motiv, we love the challenge!  Specialty trailers ARE our specialty.  Our engineering team is highly qualified and experienced in trailer design, and our production workers are accustomed to highly technical builds.  If you check out our website, you can see examples of specialty trailers we’ve built - concession and vending trailers, medical college teaching trailers, mobile chemical lab trailers, and all types of military and communication trailers.  We’ve designed salmon tagging trailers, a mobile air traffic control trailer, oil field dog house trailers…the list goes on and on.  We have even custom designed and built a trailer specifically to transport a pet monkey - complete with cages, runs, cameras, and entertainment!  There is nothing that we can’t do…in fact, our slogan here is “Our only limitation is your imagination.”  So if you need a specialty trailer, don’t waste your time with any other manufacturer - come straight to the experts here at ATC and Motiv!

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!

ATC and Motiv trailers are known as the trailer manufacture to come to if you are looking for a custom built trailer.  Some companies say custom built, but they really mean that you can choose from a list of options that build upon a base trailer, but that is not the case for ATC and Motiv.  When ATC and Motiv says custom built that is exactly what we mean.  You can have an idea for a mobile hotel, an air traffic control tower trailer, or something to take your pet monkeys with you on the road (these are real examples of some of ATC and Motiv custom built trailers).  You can feel comfortable coming to ATC and Motiv with your craziest ideas and know that our team of engineers will figure out a way to make your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) a reality that will make others wonder where you got such a unique custom built trailer.  Here a few more examples of ATC and Motiv custom built trailers:  a trailer that takes Salmon roe and tags them before they go into a river, or a trailer that has NASCAR simulator units inside of them, and emergency response units that have a mobile cell phone tower on the back.  So, as you can see the sky is the limit and as an example of our limit we were asked if we could build a space ship.  We had to veto that one.
