ATC has been building all aluminum race car haulers for almost 11 years now. http://www.aluminumtrailer.com/car%20haulers take a look at the 2009 Quest with Plexiglas. This unique race car hauler is enclosed but allow people to see the race car or classic car that you want displayed. This concept of race car hauler has also been used for marketing of new model year cars.
Our all aluminum race car haulers don’t just stop at the bumper pull versions we can build you a 53’ lift gate trailer as well. Is your budget pretty tight? Then consider our Motiv RSX race car hauler. This is a steel framed version of our aluminum trailers. ATC is very diversified and experienced in building race car haulers. Please give us a call and we will help you get yours built.

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 a basic purpose, getting a race car from point a to point b. 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. Todays 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.

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

It’s certainly not everyday that work is as interesting as it was when I spent the weekend a couple of years ago at Elkhart Lake Wisconsin. You see my job on the operations and production side of the business usually means staying at the plant. Don’t’ misunderstand me! I really enjoy building trailers (cargo trailers, specialty trailers, and race trailers) of all types and sizes. My job is very challenging and most of the time quite rewarding. However, there is a very detached and remote aspect of building something but then never seeing it actually being used.
The process of designing, engineering, and building specialized and very personal race trailers for customers really hit home when I actually saw them in use. The event was an SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) weekend of races. It ran from Friday to Sunday with nine distinct race divisions. There were race cars of every shape, size, age, and class. They ranged from open wheeled race cars (formerly used on the professional circuit) to cars with only factory installed equipment. Of course the only way to get those cars to the track was with a race trailer.
That’s where I come in. Did I mention that I build trailers for a living, in this case race trailers! There will well over 300 trailers at the event from at least 30 different manufacturers. Well of course everyone there is watching the race, but I’m going around looking at all the race trailers. They were as different and as varied as the race cars themselves. Some were simple (a box on wheels), while others were incredibly detailed and complex. They all served a purpose and from talking to the owners they were as proud of their trailers as they were of their cars.
Yes. I did eventually get around to watching a few of the races and that was fun, but certainly not as much fun if I could have been driving in the race. If you are interested in some really cool race trailers check out www.aluminumtailer.com
By the way that’s where I work, and as I said one of these days I really need to get away from the plant. Maybe I could build a trailer for you, then you could let me wreck ‘er I mean race your car.

Car haulers cover a wide range of trailers. Ranging from 16 foot open car haulers to a 53 foot fully enclosed transporter car hauler, there are car haulers to meet your specific needs.
Price is one consideration. Open car haulers are the least expensive of the car haulers. You can purchase 18 foot open car haulers for $2,000. Nicely equipped 24 foot enclosed car haulers set up for the weekend race enthusiast could be purchased for less than $15,000. Whereas, fully equipped enclosed 53 foot car haulers could carry a sticker price in excess of $250,000.
Weight of the car haulers is another consideration. Federal licensing requirements, and federal excise taxes are based on gross vehicle weight ratings of car haulers in combination with the GVWR of the tow vehicle. Car haulers with a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or more require special licensing for the driver and additional federal excise taxes are due at time of registration.
Most important in determining the right car hauler is how it will be used. Will the car hauler be used to haul only one type of vehicle or is it multi use? Do the dimensions of the vehicle(s) to be hauled require special car hauler configurations or dimensions? Is it used primarily for storage or will you be using it also as a portable garage? Will you haul other equipment with you in the car hauler which would require additional storage bins, cabinets, hanging racks, etc? Will you always have the ability to power the car hauler with shore power or will you require on board power generation? All things to be discussed with your local dealer who can help you determine the right car hauler for you.

ATC and Motiv build all kinds of trailers from little 6′ x 10′ up to 53′ semi-style rigs, but without question, race car haulers are a perennial top seller. Once we broke into the race car hauler business, our trailers began to almost promote themselves out at the racetrack. Much to our benefit, racers are a tight-knit group that recognize quality and precision craftsmanship. We found that the word about ATC and Motiv spread quickly.
Due to our connection with racers we are continually revising our race car haulers to make sure we are ahead of the curve with the ever changing needs of the racing industry. We credit our dedicated dealer network and customers for helping keep us on the cutting edge. What kind of race car hauler are you looking for? Call one of our dealers today and let us show you why ATC has risen to the top of the race car hauler business.

There are many choices available in aluminum car haulers. You know the benefits of aluminum, lighter weight, resistant to road salt and corrosion. You know you want an aluminum car hauler, but the choices still seem endless. Here are a few things to look for as you compare different aluminum car haulers.
First, look at the foundation of the aluminum car hauler, the frame. Is it a full perimeter frame with 16′ floor joists that provides the greatest strength, construction just like your home or is the frame of the aluminum car hauler made with main rails running on the interior of the trailer and outriggers? What materials are being used? Is it structural aluminum of the appropriate size and thickness to support the rigors of transporting or is it basic tube steel made with a cheaper aluminum alloy? Is the frame of the aluminum car hauler completely aluminum designed and engineered from the ground up as an aluminum trailer or is it a steel construction frame with aluminum substituted in some high visibility areas?
Secondly, check out the manufacturer of aluminum car haulers. At Aluminum Trailer Company, we started with building aluminum car haulers from the ground up. Our engineering and design teams have years of experience working with aluminum. That’s all we do.
When you are in the market for aluminum car haulers, look for an ATC authorized dealer. Visit our website at www.aluminumtrailer.com for a complete list of dealers along with galleries of many unique aluminum car haulers and an array of other enclosed all aluminum trailers

Think all trailers were created equally? Think again! Here at ATC and Motiv, we’ve taken enclosed car haulers to a whole new level. We are driven by quality and craftsmanship…not by quantity. Our ATC all-aluminum enclosed car haulers are the strongest, lightest, and best looking trailers around. Features like polished cast aluminum corners, stainless steel verticals, screwless exterior, and LED lights are just a few of the things that make our trailers stand out from the rest – and that’s just on the outside. Take a look inside and you’ll see our custom cabinets, recessed fluorescent lights, maybe some screwless interior aluminum walls and ceiling…everything you could want to make your trailer the best looking one around. If you love ATC’s world class quality but are on a budget, check out our Motiv Trailers line of steel enclosed car haulers. Built by the same Amish craftsmen, they offer a more economical alternative to aluminum.
Want your enclosed car hauler designed exactly how you want it? That’s no problem either. Our engineers are happy to work with your custom needs. While other manufacturers turn out enclosed car haulers that are a dime a dozen, we take pride in the fact that we rarely build identical trailers. We’ll do whatever it takes to accommodate your car, team, and tools – and we’ll do it with style! Steel or all-aluminum, tag or gooseneck, we offer a trailer that’s perfect for you.
