Enclosed Trailers

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

You could have had an enclosed trailer.  My guess is that many people think they can’t afford an enclosed trailer but have they considered all of the advantages?  First of all what did you spend on the equipment or toys you are transporting.  An enclosed trailer will keep them safe and secure.  Also an enclosed trailer will help keep your investments out of the public eye, I am sure you have heard the saying out of sight out of mind.  With an enclosed trailer you also create mobile storage for your toys. You also now have a mobile garage to work on your toys when you get to your destination.  Motiv and ATC have launched an all new line of inexpensive enclosed trailers called the ravin light series.  You might be surprised how inexpensive it can be to get a quality built enclosed trailer.  Check out our enclosed trailers on our website at www.aluminumtrailer.com

Dog House Trailers

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

The oil industry has used dog house trailers for your years.  It has really been a fitting name for the typical crew trailer in the industry.  The basic dog house trailer would include a rear door entry, a little shelter, knowledge box, and a couple lockers and that was about it.  Now ATC is in the dog house trailer business and things have changed.  The Aluminum trailer company has built hundreds of deluxe dog house trailers to fit our customer’s needs.  From basic steel locker trailers to high end aluminum dog house trailers ATC can custom design and build a trailer to meet your crews needs.  The all aluminum dog house trailers offers many benefits such as light weight, corrosion resistant and long term value.  We know your crew is going to be tough on your dog house trailer but with an aluminum dog house trailer after years of abuse ATC can refurbish your trailer at a fraction of the cost of buying a new one. 

Take a moment to see just a few of the custom dog house trailers we have built and designed from the ground up.  Just hop on www.aluminumtrailer.com  then click on the custom section.  Look at the crew trailer section and you will see just a few of the great oil field trailers we have built.

Trailer Manufacturer

Monday, June 28th, 2010

If you have done any sort of research on line, you have quickly come to the conclusion that there are many, many choices for you when it comes to choosing a trailer manufacturer to build exactly what you are looking for. We want to make this as easy as possible for you. Chose the Aluminum Trailer Company and Motiv Trailers to be your trailer manufacturer of choice.

 We certainly are not the biggest trailer manufacture out there. Nor are we the oldest or the most recognizable trailer manufacturer. What we are is a solid company, who consistently puts out some of the best product that is on the market today. Our company was started a little over ten years ago by a guy who had a vision for aluminum trailers. In an industry where the common practice was to manufacture trailers out of steel, our company was started with the premise that aluminum was the way to go. We have since added a steel line, but we have continued to be on the cutting edge of aluminum trailer manufacturing. Whether you need a standard cargo, motorcycle or car hauler; or you need a highly customized stacker or other specialty trailer, we are the trailer manufacturer for you.

Visit our website at www.aluminumtrailer.com to see what we have to offer. We have wonderful pictures of not only our standard trailers, but also our custom trailers which really show off what our manufacturing capabilities are. We have a dealer locater conveniently included, so you have the option of contacting a dealer directly or call into the office at 877-441-2440 and we would be happy to point you in the right direction.

Mobile Power Trailers

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

The trailer industry is evolving. Fifty years ago it was mainly cargo and concession style trailers and there weren’t a whole of lot of options for folks to choose from. In the last twenty years, car haulers, gooseneck and the like have gained popularity. There are also many more choices for people to go when they are looking for a trailer company. That list narrows however, when someone is looking for a specific, custom application use for a trailer such as for a mobile power source. This is a trailer which needs extra engineering, quality control and production know how to produce.

 The Aluminum Trailer Company has partnered with several national companies to do various projects in the mobile power trailer arena. One outfit that ATC has worked frequently with deals directly with the National Guard on various projects. One such project was a mobile power and communications trailer. The specific project called for trailers which would be up fitted with satellite and generator power sources. The trailers would then be mobilized in the event of a natural disaster when communication and power sources were down. The trailer could be used to organize critical relief response to the disaster.

 If you are working with a government entity or with a private organization and have a need for a mobile power source then the Aluminum Trailer Company can help design and build what you are looking for. Visit us at www.aluminumtrailer.com for a wide range of examples of not just mobile power trailers, but also communication, command center and other types as well.

Specialty Trailers

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

There are literally thousands of applications for the trailers that we build. It constantly amazes me the uses and applications that people come to us with for our specialty trailers. This comes with the territory when you are known in the industry as the premier manufacturer of custom and specialty trailers.

 There are way too many to chose from, but one of my favorite specialty trailer applications that we have done a fair amount of are wine bottling trailers. In this specialty application, a company will come to us and in tandem with our engineering team, design from the ground up a trailer which will be loaded with wine bottling equipment. Once all the equipment is installed the trailer will go to different vineyards to set up shop and viola, you have an instant mobile wine operation. This helps the small farmers who may not want to invest in their own equipment in a permanent building. This is costly and not the most efficient. If they hire the specialty trailer with the equipment installed, they only pay for what they use. This is a win both for the smaller farmer and for the operators of the mobile specialty trailer.

The above example is but one of hundreds of specialty trailers that we have manufactured at the Aluminum Trailer Company. Visit our website at www.aluminumtrailer.com to see thousands of pictures in our robust photo gallery. Maybe we have already done something you are considering. If we have not, there is a great chance that we can help you dial in and figure out exactly what you want.

Enclosed Trailers

Friday, June 18th, 2010

When I first got into the trailer business, I really didn’t know much about enclosed trailers.  As the years have passed, I have learned a tremendous amount about enclosed trailers from our customers.  I’ve learned what is important and what is the fluffy, foo-foo stuff that doesn’t really provide any value.

 I remember my first trip down to Daytona for the race show before the 500.  I sat down with racer after racer and learned that a quality design and good fit-and-finish just cannot be beat.  There is no shortage of trailer manufacturers out there just pumping out the same old stuff with lackluster quality.  We have built our enclosed trailers around a different customer.  Our customers recognize precision craftsmanship and quality of design.

 By steering out business this direction and taking the upper road, yeah, we miss out on some of the massive amounts of cheap trailers that are sold, but we can sleep well at night knowing that we build the best stuff out there.  Our customers recognize this and continue coming back.

 Check us out at the race track next time or just click onto our website, I’m confident you’ll learn a lot about the little things that make ATC/Motiv beat to a different drum.  Happy Trailering!

Mobile Office Trailer

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

What would you consider a mobile office?  Those trailers you see on construction sites that are only temporary.  The kind that look like stripped down mobile homes?  What if a guy with a Blackberry conducts all his business at the local Starbucks while using their signal? Is that his office? 

I guess that really either could be considered a mobile office.  However, the one seems a little undermanned and the other a little too permanent.  If you are looking for a truly mobile office you need a mobile office trailer.  That’s where I can help. I build trailers for ATC (www.aluminumtrailer.com) and among all the trailers that we build are mobile office trailers.  Why a trailer?  Well really it’s the wheels!  You can’t get any more mobile than that.

Whether it’s an office for fire control, construction site, service business you are truly mobile with wheels under your office.  We have built mobile office trailers for all of those and many more.  It’s exactly what you need.   And did I mention you can still have your Blackberry and Starbucks.  Happy Trailering!

Enclosed Trailers

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Do you know what the difference is between inclose or enclose?   Or the variants of those inclosed or enclosed?   Well as it turns out there isn’t any difference they both mean the same thing. However the preferred spelling or usage just happens to be “enclosed”.   Now that may not mean much to most people but I just happen to be in the business of making enclosed trailers, and since we advertise we really do try to get things like spelling and grammatical nuances correct.  I don’t know how much longer that will actually be important in the age of texting and twitter it seems that you can just make things up as you go along.

Let’s get back to that enclosed trailers thing for a moment.  Of course you were wondering what that means?   Well weren’t you?   An enclosure structurally is like a fence around property or more specifically like a porch on your house,but now you put glass around it.   Voila! You now have an enclosed room that used to be an open to the weather porch.  That may not mean much to some people, but try reading the Sunday morning paper on your porch in Indiana in January.  You would immediately understand why enclosing it with glass makes a lot of sense.   If I built enclosed porches, I would continue down this path but I don’t so I won’t.

 I make enclosed trailers (www.aluminumtrailer.com) and I was just trying to get my point across in a way most people would understand.  You can buy many types of trailers and many of them are open like your front porch, and they work very well for some things, but if you want things dry and not exposed to the elements of the weather you need an enclosed trailer.  What kind of enclosed trailer? Well I could tell you now but that would spoil my fun.  LOL (that’s one of those texting things I was talking about).  Maybe next time we can talk about the different kinds of enclosed trailers, until then Happy Trailering!

Specialty Trailers

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Have you ever wondered if what you read in the newspapers or see on television is true or accurate? Especially if it is an advertisement or a commercial, you have to wonder!

Well my wife and I were watching television a few weeks ago and a commercial came on for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Alliance.   All I can figure out is that it must be an umbrella group or an industry trade association putting out their message.   The spokeswoman was talking about all the great things that do for America’s energy independence, and how reliable it is (this was before the gas rig accident in the Gulf of Mexico). Then she mentioned how this industry creates 9 million jobs for America because of their efforts.

Now my wife being somewhat skeptical to begin with said, “well that’s a little hard to believe”.   Of course I’m used to arguing with her, and I immediately said the spokeswoman was probably right. You see I work building all kinds of trailers (find us at www.aluminumtrailer.com) and it just so happens that we build specialty trailers.

In this case we build specialty trailers for you guessed it the Gas industry.

We have built specialty trailers for oil well drilling, for soil sampling, for the work crews, for surveying, etc.  We have built specialty trailers for at least eight different companies that I am sure are part of that organization. I can say for a fact they do create jobs for America, and I am thankful that one of them is mine.   So the next time you read or see something making a claim.  It just might true.  Happy Trailering!

Commercial Trailer

Friday, May 14th, 2010

         We are really thankful right now at ATC and Motiv, because over the past months our business has really picked up.  It’s a great change from the past year or two when economic times were so tough.  One area of our business in particular has been extremely busy: our commercial trailer product line seems to be growing every day, which is so exciting for us. 

            ATC has always been an industry leader in the commercial trailer field.  We pride ourselves on our ability to design and build literally anything our customers can imagine.  In the past few years we have taken our steel trailer product, the Motiv line, and adapted that to make a superb commercial trailer platform – especially for the customer who has a tighter budget.  We are constantly looking for newer and more innovative solutions for our corporate and commercial clients. 

            One example of a totally unique trailer series we built were our remote fish tagging trailers.  These lightweight ATC all-aluminum trailers carried special equipment to tag salmon in remote areas, as well as stainless steel countertops, custom sinks, and cabinetry that enabled the trailer to run fish through its machinery right at crucial streams and rivers.  We have also designed many different vending units, apparel and parts display trailers, a BBQ trailer complete with open porch on the back to display a smoker, even mobile bar trailers! 

            If you want to see a small sample of what we can do for your business at ATC and Motiv, check out our Custom Trailers section of our website.  If you don’t see exactly what you need, don’t worry.  Just give us a call and let us design your perfect solution.  Our only limitation is your imagination.

Cargo Trailers

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I have been working in the trailer business for almost 6 years now, and I am still continuously amazed at all the different things people want to put in their trailers.  When you read the phrase “cargo trailer” it seems so simple and straightforward…yet every day at ATC and Motiv brings new customers, with different types of cargo, and totally unique ways of carrying it. 

For example, we called one of our favorite projects “The Monkey Trailer” – and yes, it was a super custom high end playground for a customer’s beloved pet monkeys.  Loaded with a custom primate cage package, wire runs all around the upper and lower levels of the trailers for exercise, a state of the art heating and cooling system, even a flat screen TV for the monkey’s entertainment…it was a cargo trailer that even a human would have been comfortable in! 

Of course, we don’t make just super custom trailers (even if they are the most fun).  When the tough economic times hit a year and a half ago, we heard from quite a few of our customers and dealers that ATC and Motiv really needed a value priced cargo trailer line.  And so we introduced our Raven Lite models, which are designed to hit the budget price people want while still providing the space and super quality they need.  You can get a standard Raven Lite even on the tightest budget, and for just a little more you can upgrade to all kinds of popular options, such as our aluminum frame or 2’ wedge nose. 

So no matter what your precious cargo is, we can build the perfect trailer for you.  To us, there are no “cookie cutter” trailers…whatever you want to haul, we will find a way!

Command Center

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

You have only to turn on the nightly news or click on cnn.com to see what an unstable world we live in.  Hurricanes, tornados, natural disasters of any kind – they can wipe out our man-made conveniences in a second and leave thousands of people without shelter.  Even more disturbing are the terrorist attacks and criminal disasters that can cripple an entire city, or endanger hundreds of innocent people. 

Luckily, modern technology is devising new ways to cope with these catastrophes every day.  We at ATC and Motiv Trailers are proud to be part of these efforts.  One of our fastest growing areas is the emergency response field.  When disaster strikes, it is critical to restore necessary power, water, and food supplies as soon as possible.  Often this can take days, especially in the case of a natural disaster.

At ATC and Motiv, we build lightweight and durable trailers of any size that can transport vital equipment or even provide services on the spot.  These units are often referred to as command centers, since they serve as a base for emergency workers to operate out of.  Command center units are all unique according to the area they serve, but usually include mobile communications and power equipment, computer workstations, conference and debriefing areas, and kitchen/bathroom areas for emergency workers.   Command centers are highly specialized and complex trailers that most manufacturers would rather not deal with; at ATC and Motiv, we want you to bring it on!   We have the skill and experience you need to get the job done, and the passion for quality work that gets it done right.  ATC is the company you can trust for something so incredibly important

Our production workers are devoted to building a quality trailer that will last for years to come.  We build our own superior aluminum cabinets and countertops, in any shape or form you need, so there is no worry about trying to fit your equipment into pre-made products.  We also have our own custom door department, which builds almost any type of door imaginable…concession doors, access doors, ramp and entry doors – the list goes on and on!

Please give ATC and Motiv a call today – or visit our website at www.AluminumTrailer.com/custom to see a sample of projects we have done.  Let us help you take your business on the road – and to a level of success you won’t believe!

Commercial Trailers

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Commerical TrailerATC and Motiv Trailers build a wide variety of commercial trailers.  One of the hottest segments of the commercial trailer market has been the mobile marketing trailers.  These trailers are typically set up with sides that fold down and create a stage around the trailer.  This allows owners to invite customers into their mobile shop space and display their products.  It creates an inviting environment where customers can easily and naturally interact with the products that are being displayed.  We’ve also built many of these stage trailers for show car displays too.  We’ve heard time and time again, there simply is no better way to display a hot looking show car than with a custom stage.

Another growing segment in commercial trailers has been the mobile concession market.  These trailers range from mobile food vending trailers to the T-shirt vending trailers found on the NASCAR circuit.  ATC and Motiv have been industry leaders in commercial trailers due to our unmatched level of quality and craftsmanship.  When it comes to making you look good in front of your customer, nothing compares to the quality of and ATC or Motiv trailer.  Call us to discuss your project today!

Command Center Trailers

Friday, March 19th, 2010

If you are looking for a command center trailer, you have come to the right place.  Honestly, there really aren’t many trailer manufacturers out there that can handle this caliber of trailer project.  ATC and Motiv offer the quality, fit and finish and engineering expertise that is required for this type of project.  Our engineering team will fully design your custom command center trailer on our 3-D CAD software and share prints with you prior to constructing your command center trailer.  By investing this amount of time and effort into your project we are able to make sure we are building exactly the trailer that suits for your application.  We will not begin construction on your command center trailer until we have your full approval to move forward into production.

Another huge benefit of working with ATC and Motiv trailers is that nearly 100% of the project will be completed by our team members all under one roof.  The idea of having a trailer company build a trailer then ship it across the country and have another company outfit the trailer with the necessary cabinets and electronics is far from ideal.  Because we have such great experience in command center trailers, we have recognized that the best way to exceed the needs of our customers is to do all the work right here in our facility.

Custom Trailers

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Custom trailers have always been a special part of our business here at ATC.  We have a workforce that is very quality minded and have a craftsmen approach to building trailers.  We haven’t always been as cost conscious as we could have been but our main goal of building custom trailers is that we meet the customers’ expectations.  When building custom trailers it can sometimes be difficult to give the customer exactly what he/she wants.  That’s why we offer 3D prints for all of our custom trailers.  This helps the customer picture what they are getting before its built.  Each custom trailer has an easy to read order form and corresponding prints.  Many of our competitors have decided not to build highly custom trailers anymore.  They have decided that it is too difficult and too costly to maintain the engineering staff as well as the workforce that will be able to provide the fit and finish that a demanding customer requires.  Our custom trailer line is going to be continually improving our response time as well as our communication with customers.    Custom trailers are the most demanding type of trailers to build and we have done a good job of providing them to our dealer base.

Command Center

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Over the years we have done our fair share of command center trailers.  Command center trailers can be used for many different things.  We have customers that have used command centers for training purposes as well as safety training for staff of fire and police departments.  We are currently doing one of our largest and most expensive command centers to date.  This particular command center is for the Louisiana Parish Sherriff’s office.  During certain times of the year it will no doubt be tested in use.  Our command centers come completely finished from major power generators to full communication capabilities.  We do it all. We can even install specially supplied parts for a command center that is requested by a customer.  We have the experience and the engineering department to supply full 3D prints and make sure that your command center gets to you exactly the way that you specify.

Custom trailers

Monday, March 1st, 2010

The word “custom trailer” sometimes scares people off because they feel that when you get the convenience of a custom design, inherently an astronomical fee must be associated in there somewhere.  In out vocabulary a custom trailer does not necessarily have to be expensive.  The only thing that often constitutes a custom trailer is what options you want and where you want those options located.

At ATC and Motiv trailers, we have built thousands of custom trailers that are 100% to the specifications of the end user, but didn’t take a stitch more time to manufacture.  We have developed a flexible manufacturing process that allows us to make each and every trailer unique while still running an efficient production line.

One thing we have realized in the trailer business is that each and every trailer owner may want something a little bit different in his or her trailer.  By creating a production process that is able to handle custom trailers we have been able to deliver exactly what the retail customer wants at a very competitive price.

Custom Trailers

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Custom trailers” is a phrase that is often tossed around in the trailer business.  But what exactly does it mean, especially in terms of your trailer needs?  Literally, customization is defined by one source as anything made or modified to a personal taste.  Here at ATC and Motiv Trailers, we are proud to say that our custom trailers have really made their mark in the trailer industry – and even in the wider business arena.  Not every trailer manufacturer will do “custom trailer” work.  The bigger companies much prefer to turn out standard, identical, cookie-cutter trailers.  In truth, these type of trailers are far easier to design and produce.  Our custom trailers require significant sales and engineering design time, as well as painstaking craftsmanship by our production workers.  This can sometimes make the process a little longer and the costs a bit higher.  However, we believe that the final product’s quality and efficiency will save you time, effort, and money in the long run.

Just imagine, being able to sit down with someone and design a trailer that is absolutely tailored to your needs.  We’re happy to say that there is very little that can surprise or stump us for long.  Want just a few examples of custom trailers we have built?  How about dog grooming trailers, emergency response command centers, high technology laser and radar communication trailers, even a mobile fish tagging trailer used in the salmon industry.  The list goes on and on…just check out the custom trailers section of our website, www.aluminumtrailer.com , and see for yourself what we can design for your personal taste!
