ATC and Motiv Trailers have developed our own niche in the race car hauler business.

The reason customers keep coming back to ATC and Motiv is because our quality and fit and finish simply cannot be beat.
We also have found ways to continue to come out with innovative new designs and race programs that keep us in the winners circle.

These packages include aluminum cabinetry, cast corners, polished trims, aluminum wheels, aluminum walls, premium floor coverings and a host of all the 110v features that racers need. We found that by packaging in these features we were able to offer these packages at a wonderful price point.

The Aluminum Trailer Company(ATC) has been building car trailers since 1999. ATC is located in Nappanee , Indiana, the heart of Amish country. The company founders recognized the quality work force that was available in this area of northern Indiana and knew this was the place to build a world class all aluminum car trailer.
ATC builds the only all aluminum frame car trailer in the industry. Other manufactures add steel reinforcements on their race trailers. Not on ATC’s enclosed car trailer. We build our car trailer with a perimeter tube frame, tube side walls on 16″ centers, and a sturdy 1″x 3″ tube roof structure also on 16″ centers. This type of construction is what allows ATC to the strongest and lightest car trailers in the industry.
ATC offers a vast array of options on car trailers. We can custom design an all aluminum car trailer to meet your needs. Our extensive list of options includes generators, compressors, 12 volt and 110 volt electrical, floor coverings, wall coverings, concession doors, interior car lifts, rear lift gates, aluminum cabinets, and that is just the tip of the iceburg. You name it and we can probably do it!
ATC builds enclosed aluminum car trailers in both a tag, or pull behind version as well as gooseneck or fifth wheel models. You can design a custom car trailer in lengths from 16′ to 34′ in our tag models and our gooseneck models come in lengths from 28′ to 53′.

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.

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. Give us a call today and let us show you how awesome an all-aluminum trailer can be!

I typed Car Haulers in my Google search engine and it came back with over 1 million hits on those keywords. Every kind of car hauler you could possibly imagine, steel, aluminum, open, fully enclosed, 1 car to 10 car haulers are all available at every price range. Given all these options, how does a consumer decide which one best fits his or her needs? The most important factor in selecting your car hauler is finding the right manufacturer. Understanding the company’s mission, is it to be the price leader or the highest quality product with the most expensive parts, to be the largest volume producer, to be the most recognized name in car haulers, to offer the gamut of car haulers. Obviously the mission of the car hauler manufacturer will dictate the final product affecting everything from the design of the car hauler to the delivery process. How many years has the manufacturer been building car haulers? There is constant change…car dimensions change, consumer preferences change, more storage, sleeping quarters, bathroom facilities, awnings, entrance door widths, rear ramp door heights, tow vehicle capabilities. You want a manufacturer who has the knowledge and experience to understand your needs, not only for your trailer but for resale, you want a trailer that holds its market value. ATC & Motiv Trailers is a niche manufacturer of enclosed car haulers and has been for the last 8 years building car haulers for the weekend race enthusiast, the classic car buff, and for the professional race team.

If you’re familiar with ATC you already know we build one of the finest car hauler trailers available in the industry…but did you know that we build each and every ATC trailer utilizing an ALL tube construction?
That’s right, when it came to designing our frames we didn’t cut corners or use inferior materials. Every structural component on an ATC trailer is built with aluminum tubing. Other manufacturers use less expensive and weaker extrusions like L-angles, I-beams, Z-rails and other open ended extrusions.
At ATC we know the foundation of every trailer begins with a solid frame, not only in design but in the materials we use. So if you’re comparing our trailer to our competitors, realize what you’re getting before you invest your hard-earned dollars. At ATC we build better trailers with better materials.
