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.

Mobile Lab

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Mobile labs have become a way of business.  ATC recently completed this mobile lab that served three functions in one trailer.  At the rear it was processing area for animals.  This area in the mobile lab was also set up to transitioned into a storage area for equipment in transit.

The 2nd section in the mobile lab was the refrigerated lab area.

The third was just a bunk area so the technicians could catch some shut eye between jobs.  ATC will help you design and build your mobile lab from the ground up.  Please check out the custom area on web site to get some more ideas.


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!

 

Trailer manufacturers

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Just for fun, I typed in the phrase “trailer manufacturers” into Google to see what would come up.  I wasn’t too surprised to get 11,400,000 results.  One of the first sites that came up was www.natm.com , the official website of the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers.  Here at ATC (The Aluminum Trailer Company) and Motiv Trailers, we are very proud to say that we are an official member of the NATM.  What does this mean to you exactly, as a consumer?  Well, only trailer manufacturers that have passed a strict “Guidelines Compliance Consultation” are allowed to display the NATM certified decal.  This decal indicates our commitment to building a safe, outstanding product – and ensures that our trailers are meeting federal regulations and industry safety standards.  Since we are a trailer manufacturer that specializes in the custom-built, unique trailer, it is especially critical to us that we are following all safety regulations and standards to ensure you a safe and well-built trailer.  Not every trailer manufacturer has taken the time and effort to be NATM certified.  Take a moment to look for the red, white, and blue sticker on any trailer you are considering – if it is missing this emblem, you can’t be certain that the trailer has been built in compliance with NATM guidelines.  Membership in the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers…it’s just another step we take here at ATC and Motiv to ensure that our product is the absolute best trailer out there!

Concession Trailers

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Concession Trailers Custom concession trailers can be made and used for so many applications.  ATC has been involved in some unique concession trailer designs.  A particular concession trailer that comes to mind is the mobile bar trailers we built a couple of years ago.  This particular customer wanted to provide a mobile bar for corporate events, tailgating and all around good times.  Each side of this concession trailer could open up and become a serving window for the bar tenders.  A keg with cooling system and all the items you need to bring the bar to you where put in this trailer.  Later the customer added exterior mounted LCD monitors satellite and all the items you need to have a fun event.  ATC can custom build you almost any concession trailer.  Call us with your ideas and we will help get started with your concession trailer needs.

Commercial Trailers

Friday, May 29th, 2009

img_2931Weatherford International Oil Services just received their first commercial trailer from the Aluminum Trailer Company.  Weatherford contacted ATC when they had noticed the commercial trailers on our website http://www.aluminumtrailer.com/custom trailers/field service .  They needed a rugged commercial trailer that could be used as an office in just about any environment.  With the numerous commercial trailer pictures on the ATC website they were able to pick a design that worked for them and get their trailers extremely fast.  After narrowing down the options and determining the floor plan of their commercial trailer they decided on an affordable solution.  Pictured is a similar unit to what Weatherford purchased.

img_29291I personally had the opportunity to take Weatherford their first commercial trailer.  These particular units will be working in the beautiful state of Wyoming.  As you may or may not know the temperatures can be very cold in Wyoming so these commercial trailers were designed with an exceptional insulation package.  The crews will be able to be comfortable in the extreme cold temperatures they called upon to work in.  Buy purchasing a custom commercial trailer to do the job Weatherford needs done, they will be able provide a work environment that will help retain employees and attract new ones as they need to hire more with future business.

With our capabilities and experience you will be pleasantly surprised how easy and affordable a custom commercial trailer solution can be for you and your company.

Dog House Trailers

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Four years ago the Aluminum Trailer Company began to build its first Dog House trailer.  With our company being located in Indiana I had never even heard the term Dog House trailer.  Nabors well service was looking for a way to lighten their load and design a dog house trailer that would be better for their service crews (Rough Necks).

When I ended up seeing my first dog house trailer I could see how they got their name.  As you look at the back of a dog house trailer it would have one entry door with a round top roof looking much like a dog house for two legged creatures.  If you take a moment to see (picture) what Nabors and ATC designed looked nothing like a dog house trailer of the past.  This trailer was designed to be pulled with a ¾ ton truck, it was very rugged, and provided a great environment for the crews to get break from the harsh elements they work in.

I had the opportunity to deliver the first Aluminum Trailer Company Dog House trailer to Nabors.  It was great opportunity to meat some of the staff at the corporate offices in Houston Texas.  The attached picture is of the very first trailer we delivered them.  As the corporate leaders toured the custom dog house trailer they decided to add even more features to keep their crews happy.  For instance we added a microwave, refrigerator, generator and air conditioning.  Nabors now has the nicest Dog House trailer in the industry.  If your company needs to build one dog house trailer or a fleet of dog house trailers please give us a call.  ATC can produce an inexpensive base unit or the dog house trailer with everything you could ever want.

Lab Trailer

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It is not always convenient on a job site to work without having a lab on location.  Equally as often, there is not money available to have a lab at every job site where its services may be needed.  Whether your lab consists of data collection, testing equipment, computer processing or quality control; a mobile lab trailer can help ensure that the data that is collected is accurate and dependable.  So many different applications require the function of a lab, it just makes sense to have a lab trailer that can move as the job site moves.

When there is a crew of professional lab technicians, their effectiveness is multiplied tremendously when that crew is made mobile.  Moving specialized equipment quickly and easily can also make that equipment more functional for a variety of job sites if their service is not always needed on site.  Adding one mobile lab could save the time and expense of setting up a lab location at multiple sites.

ATC & Motiv trailers have the experience and production capabilities to build a specialized lab trailer for you that will fit your function as well as meet the specific requirements that are needed for your specific lab type.  Get in touch with us to find out more about how we can work with you to design a lab trailer for you!

Bathroom Trailers

Monday, April 20th, 2009

It’s one of those annoying facts of life – sooner or later, everyone has to answer the call of nature.  It’s especially irritating when you’re at the racetrack, or on a job site, where decent facilities aren’t always readily available.  And from a woman’s perspective, let me tell you, it can be REALLY tough to find an acceptable place to take care of business!  And don’t even get me started on the long lines you typically have to wait in.

That’s why ATC and Motiv Trailers offer a great variety of bathroom trailers to choose from!  You can have a clean, private place to use the restroom…right inside your trailer.  We have designed a number of awesome bathroom packages to fit anybody’s needs.  If you want to keep it simple, the S1 or S2 bathroom package added to your tag trailer is the perfect way to go.  The wedge nose design maximizes your trailer storage space, and you can even add a shower with the S3 bathroom trailer package.  Another extremely popular option we offer is the GN3 Walkaround Bathroom trailer.  This design, available on all of our gooseneck trailers, has the bathroom tucked up against the riser wall and still leaves room for stairs leading up to the bunk. Our racer customers love this floorplan for the track…it leaves plenty of room in the garage for your cars and provides quick and easy bathroom access.  You can use the restroom and even wash up, right there in the comfort and privacy of your own trailer.  Oh, and did I mention that the GN3 comes with your choice of oak or aluminum cabinets, 12V sconce lights, RV style toilet, medicine cabinet with mirror, and glass shower door?  Ladies, trust me, this is a classy addition to your trailer…and gentlemen, need I tell you how happy this will make the women in your life?  Of course, we also offer these bathroom packages on our custom trailers – they are an excellent addition to any mobile office or lab trailers, command centers, and even kitchen/vending trailers.  Yes, once again, we take care of all your needs here at ATC and Motiv…even the ones that aren’t often talked about!

Quick Quality

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Recently ATC built a new quality trailer for Barrett displays.  Barrett called ATC with a very short timeline.  They needed a quality trailer with some custom features in 3 weeks.  ATC’s team rose to the challenge.  As Mr. Barrett viewed his quality trailer for the first time his words were this looks very nice, I am very happy with the quality and craftsmanship.  Barrett will now take this trailer and turn it into a mobile command center for disaster response.  With ATC’s quick response to build a new trailer complete in three weeks and this unit be an exceptional quality trailer, Barrett is planning on doing more and more business with ATC.  The Aluminum Trailer Company can build just about any custom steel or aluminum framed enclosed trailer that you will ever want or need.  When you need a quality trailer custom built for you to put your designs to work or you would like a complete turn key quality trailer call ATC at 574-773-2440.  To view some of the amazing quality trailers we have already completed go to www.aluminumtrailer/custom.com

Specialty Trailers

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

If you call most trailer manufacturers to inquire about a specialty trailer, you’ll find it’s really not something they’re excited to build.  The bigger companies in the trailer market prefer to crank out standard trailers, the same thing every time.  It’s much more difficult and time-consuming to build a quality specialty trailer.  But here at ATC and Motiv, we love the challenge!  Specialty trailers ARE our specialty.  Our engineering team is highly qualified and experienced in trailer design, and our production workers are accustomed to highly technical builds.  If you check out our website, you can see examples of specialty trailers we’ve built – concession and vending trailers, medical college teaching trailers, mobile chemical lab trailers, and all types of military and communication trailers.  We’ve designed salmon tagging trailers, a mobile air traffic control trailer, oil field dog house trailers…the list goes on and on.  We have even custom designed and built a trailer specifically to transport a pet monkey – complete with cages, runs, cameras, and entertainment!  There is nothing that we can’t do…in fact, our slogan here is “Our only limitation is your imagination.”  So if you need a specialty trailer, don’t waste your time with any other manufacturer – come straight to the experts here at ATC and Motiv!

What exactly is a “utility trailer”?

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

It seems like everybody and their brother defines a utility trailer as something different.  If you do a Google search for utility trailer, you’ll find everything from a 4′ wide open trailer all the way up to a 53′ semi trailer rig.  So, I guess that didn’t exactly narrow my search.  Next, I thought I would see what the good old Webster Dictionary had to say about utility trailers.  Since we all know what the word trailer means, let’s just look at the word utility.  Webster defines utility as “something useful or designed for a use”.  B-I-N-G-O!!!   This fits very well with how ATC and Motiv Trailers view the broad definition of utility trailers.

Here at ATC and Motiv the term “utility trailer” doesn’t have anything to do with a trailer size or style, it has all to do with a trailers design to do a specific or function or task for the owner.  What is the specific task you need your trailer to do?  ATC and Motiv can design a trailer to do that exact job flawlessly.

Many customers come to us and start the conversation asking for a competitive price on a given model.  Too many times, this is the wrong way to evaluate a utility trailer purchase.  We first want to know, what are you using the utility trailer for and how you plan on using it.  From that point we can help guide you into either a standard utility trailer or one that offers conveniences that cater to your exact needs.  When you are contemplating your next utility trailer, let the experts at ATC and Motiv guide you though the process and help you find the perfect trailer that is designed for your specific use!

 

Vending Trailers

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Nobody knows how to sell your merchandise better than you do.  At ATC & Motiv Trailers we understand that individual products require different display interfaces to best represent and sell that merchandise.  When you choose us, you get a chance to determine how your vending trailer will be laid out.  Whether you need display cases, concession doors, a custom stage, or who knows what else, we will incorporate your design into a vending trailer made just for you.

There are a number of things that you can control when selling a product.  First, you need a great product that has demand, that is something that you will have to take care of.  The next two items can be just as important and this is where we come in.  You need to have a product display that is attractive to a customer.  Having a welcoming platform for your product will make people want to come and see what you have to sell.  Our vending trailers are made to be functional and when you add a few appearance options your “showcase” will stand out in a league of its own.  The last thing that you need to consider when buying a unit is how you want your customers to flow.  By controlling the flow at your display you can help your customers find the best products and sell more products.  It is also important to make it convenient for your customers to find products and make the purchase.

Our sales and engineering staff is here to help you design a trailer that fits your needs and help you design a trailer that maximizes efficiency and flow, helping you sell more product.  When you design an ATC or Motiv vending trailer we provide an attractive showcase and give you the tools to help your customers flow to and through your display.  You wouldn’t have guessed we put so much thought into something as simple as a vending trailer, but we do it for our customers because we are committed to making a great product that will work great for years to come.  So, the next time you are in the market for a vending trailer, be sure to give us a call!

How do you want to use your custom trailer?

Not all trailer manufacturers build customized trailers, and of those that do choose to take on this daunting task, very few of them do it exceptionally well.  In order to succeed in the customized trailer market you must have knowledgeable trailer experience, and a highly skilled engineering department.  It is scary the amount of customers that come to us and have shopped around for a customized trailer and come back with sketches provided by other manufacturers that are basically written on a bar napkin.

If not done properly, customized trailers can wreak havoc on manufacturers and can become nightmares for the retail customer.  At ATC and Motiv, we begin the process by learning how you want to use customized trailer.  We then provide accurate costing and evaluation for what the project will entail and cost.  And before we begin welding your customized trailer, we will present and require your approval on our customized 3-D engineered drawings.  And guess what, if the drawings don’t meet your approval, we’ll draw them again until it is perfect.

Here at ATC and Motiv we have build our business around the fulfilling exact customer needs on customized trailers.  Some of the recent custom projects we have taken on are, Level I Ballistics trailers of government, 27′ long slide out mechanisms for mobile baggage scanning, air lift hooks capable of picking up the trailer from four roof mounted hooks, ramp doors on both ends of the trailer for a drive though design and mobile communication trailers capable of linking to satellites even when typical phone lines are down.

At ATC and Motiv, customized trailers are our specialty, give us a call or check out our custom trailers page on our website and you’ll see right away why we are the best in the business!

Concession Trailer or Upfitted Cargo Trailer?

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

There are many companies out there that make concession trailers, some of them are good, some of them are low quality knockoffs. At ATC & Motiv Trailers we make high quality, long lasting trailers that you will be happy with for the life of your trailer. Whether you want a turn key unit or just a shell to install your own equipment we can build the unit for you. Our concession trailers feature a frame up design that starts with a completely custom engineered drawing. When we start to build your vending trailer, it starts in the weld shop as a concession trailer from the start. That means that you have a stronger trailer that was designed to be a concession trailer so you will have years of worry free use. Other concession trailer vendors will buy simple cargo trailers and cut and hack away at them to add doors and windows. This retrofitting can hurt the frame of the trailer and cause future issues. If you have ever seen an ATC trailer you know the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every unit we build. We put the same effort into our concession trailers that we do on our custom stackers, emergency response trailers and every other project we work on. We understand that when you as a customer are happy with a trailer you help us sell more trailers and after many years of use will be a return customer to buy your next trailer from ATC & Motiv Trailers. Contact us today or stop by a dealership to see one or our units, we know you will be able to tell the difference!
