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.
