We sure have grown up a fair bit since the first race car hauler we built and showed down in Daytona back in February of 2000. I’ll be honest, that first ATC race car hauler trip to Daytona was a struggle. Some of the top trim came off on my way down to Florida and my dad and I spent the better part of a day looking for it along the highway. Somehow, by the grace of God, we found it! We popped it back on and continued on the show. To say we were a bit “green” in the race car hauler business would be quite an understatement.
I’m happy to say over the past 11 years we have done a lot of growing up and we have learned a tremendous amount from our customers and dealers. We now find ourselves deep into the race car hauler business with an overflowing list of satisfied customers. We thank all of you who helped us get here and have had a part in our success.
While we have learned a lot and enjoyed some success over the years, part of being a great company is never getting complacent. I’m happy to say that we are continuing to grow and improve our race car haulers. We invite you to see the new product launch at this years PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show in Orlando Florida. We promise you will not be disappointed with the new look and features in our ATC and Motiv race car haulers.

Over the last 20 year the race trailer market has changed dramatically. Back in the early 1990’s most of the race trailers were rather basic and served one purpose. That purpose was to get a race car from point a to point b. When you compare today’s race trailer with the race trailer of the 90’s the changes have been amazing. Current race trailers still serve the basic transportation purpose. However, the style in which it is done has changed by leaps and bounds.
Race trailers now have as many options in the as you can think of, not just the basics. Today’s race trailers come with complete electrical packages and full cabinet packages. The interior of many race trailers is as nicely equipped as many homes or offices. The interior of race trailers include aluminum walls, vinyl floors, carpet and air conditioning.
Since race trailers often sit at the race track all weekend long many are now equipped with bath rooms or even full blown living quarters! These packages include all the luxury of a fine hotel room. You can have your T.V.; surround sound, gas grill, inside and outside shower, and even a washer and dryer.
Race trailers have come a long way over the last 20 years. If you are in the market for a state of the art race trailer, check out ATC and Motiv. We build the highest quality race trailers on the planet.

Utility trailers come in all shapes and sizes. There are many different thoughts about what utility trailers are. Some would say that a utility trailer would be something that would be an open steel trailer with no sidewalls or roof. Others would put small cargo trailers in the utility trailer category. I’ve heard utility trailers being referred to as trailers that utility companies use to haul their supplies. Utility trailers to me are trailers that are used to do work in a simple application. When I hear utility trailer it usually means an open trailer with no walls or ceiling. Usually made out of steel or aluminum. Utility trailers would be on the smaller side. Usually in the 5 x 8 to 7×14 range. Utility trailers are something that we do build but they are not our main business. We build larger custom trailers and only build enclosed utility trailers for our dealers. Utility trailers usually are not finished out very well and they tend to be built by small regional manufacturers that build large volumes of standard products. Utility trailers can also be rented from dealers many times as well.

There are many companies that make a variety of flatbed trailers. They come in a wide range of prices and features with varying levels of quality put into the construction. Anyone familiar with ATC trailers will know of the quality that goes into each and every one of our trailers and that goes for the flatbed trailers that build as well.
Now more than ever, this is an exceptional time to consider and aluminum open car hauler. We are running a promotion to get a great 18′ long aluminum flatbed trailer to fill all of your towing needs at a fraction of the normal retail price. What sets us apart from the competition?
Our trailers are truly all aluminum. From the base frame to the floor decking, you won’t have wood or steel that is going to rot away. The aluminum also makes our flatbed trailer extremely light weight. The 18′ aluminum open car hauler advertised in the promotion weighs in at only 1,310 lbs. That means more payload and easier pulling, all from using a full aluminum construction.
Our flatbed trailers have removable fenders to help you load and unload your car. We also moved the ramp door storage into the back of the trailer, making it quick and convenient for you to use them. With all of these benefits and the spectacular promotion price currently, now has never been a better time to buy an ATC flatbed trailer.

Let me suggest items you should look for in an Open Car Hauler Trailer.
The first question you need to answer is your preference for aluminum or steel. Steel trailers will be less expensive than their aluminum counterpart, but weighs more and is susceptible to corrosion from road salt, grime, and the weather, whereas aluminum is corrosion resistant and will generally last longer and look better under the same conditions.
The next important question to answer is what are your weight requirements? Do you have the right tow vehicle for the weight rating of the trailer? What is the weight of the vehicle you will load on the trailer? An 18′ open car hauler trailer can weigh anywhere from 1,200# to 2,000# depending on whether it is made of aluminum or steel, and options selected. You are fine with tandem 3,500# axles if your vehicle and cargo weight less than 5,000#, but you may want to consider heavier axles to increase the carrying capacity of your trailer if your vehicle weighs more than 5,000# or if you are intending to haul other cargo with the vehicle that would exceed 5,000# in weight.
You will also want to know some specific measurements of your vehicle, ground clearance, wheel base, door clearance, overall length and width are all important to insure your car can be properly loaded and secured on your new open car hauler trailer.
Equipped with this information, you’re now ready to start looking at trailers. There are many brands of open car hauler trailers available. Different brands offer different specialties. Look for the following: ramp dimensions, load ratings, and ramp storage; deck height, stabilizer jacks for loading, removable or permanently fastened fenders, radial tires or bias ply, LED or incandescent lighting. All of these differ with brands and will have a significant impact on your experience with your open car hauler trailer.
