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.

Toy hauler trailers are similar to living quarter trailers in that they have some of the same components. However the purpose of a toy hauler is a bit more defined as hauling toys and doubling as living space when toy hauler owners are playing at an event. Toy haulers usually include some kind of living space. Toy hauler trailers also include a garage space of some kind for the transport of the toys. Toy hauler trailers sometimes mix the two of these items into one so that they use the space inside the trailer more efficiently. Toy haulers come in all shapes and sizes. Toy hauler trailers can be large or small and can be a full living quarter or just a bathroom/kitchen with a garage. ATC living quarter trailers are equipped to carry much larger loads than most travel trailer or RV based toy hauler trailer. You very often can get a disappointing result when you spend much time and money on a toy hauler trailer. Toy hauler trailers can very greatly in both material quality and fit/finish. Because it’s a living space and not a typical trailer, toy hauler trailers to us, seem to be more crucial in these areas. Toy hauler trailers are made by many manufacturers and there for have a wide range of results. Toy hauler trailers at ATC get more time and attention than most manufacturers give them. We feel that toy hauler trailers are very important to our business.

Living quarter trailers take some unique capabilities to build the right way. Here at ATC I wouldn’t say that we specialize in living quarter trailers but we do a good job in building them. Our living quarter trailers don’t really compare to an RV or Travel trailer in either price or design. Our living quarter trailers usually are highly customized and serve multiple purposes. Our living quarter trailers can be added to most of our models to make a very unique product that meets a living quarter trailer customers needs. Living quarter trailers can be slapped together in a way that gives the appearance of a finished livable unit but then have nothing beneath the surface that will satisfy the customer over the long haul. We have our own custom wood cabinet shop where we make high quality cabinets for our living quarter trailers. Our living quarter trailers also can be outfitted with aluminum racing cabinets in place of wood as well. Living quarter trailers also take a special kind of worker that can do finish work as well as being efficient on time. To fit all of the things required by a place that you expect to live in into a small space afforded by a living quarter trailer is very difficult. Living quarter trailers become even more difficult to build when they are customized. We have been building living quarter trailers for about 5 years now and have done pretty well.

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.

All great companies must continuously strive to reinvent their products in order to create more value and curb appeal. I’m proud to say that ATC/Motiv Trailers is a company that has never been satisfied with the status quo. Over the past 11 years in business we have been constantly searching for ways to improve our trailers. Yes, we have a great trailer, but there is always room for improvement. For the past year we have been locking ourselves in the office late hours, drinking lots of coffee and coming up with a host of fresh new ideas for our trailers.
I proud to announce that we are about ready to open the doors and introduce some great new things. Our first unveiling will be in September at the NATDA (North American Trailer Dealer Association) dealer show in Louisville, Kentucky. Our public unveiling will be at the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show in Orlando, Florida in early December. We have a bag full of tricks and we cannot wait to share our ideas with our customers.
Stay tuned for more great stuff from ATC and Motiv. Don’t get too excited though, because we’ll probably top this again next year!

Pack your bags, and load your hogs… its time for a road trip. Chance are if you are going to Daytona or Sturgis you will be in good company with your ATC or Motiv motorcycle trailer. I’m always pleasantly surprised at how many ATC and Motiv motorcycle trailers I see at the national rallies. I guess what they say is true, motorcycle guys and gals really do appreciate and recognize precision craftsmanship.
Yeah, there certainly are manufactures out there that sell motorcycle trailers for less, but many of them dip well below the acceptable threshold of quality. I’m all for a good price, but some of these trailers are bordering on ridiculous. The key to ATC and Motiv success in the motorcycle trailer market is focusing on value.
We proudly provide more value than any other manufacturer due to our quality of design, unmatched craftsmanship and our warranty program. Give us a try and we’ll be happy to make you a believer in ATC and Motiv motorcycle trailers!

ATC has been building an all aluminum motorcycle trailer for over 10 years now. We have always been on the cutting edge of design and quality. Whether your needs are basic or you want a fully decked out design ATC can build you the trailer of your dreams.
ATC’s all aluminum motorcycle trailers are just that, all aluminum. Most companies can’t say that. That is because they reinforce their trailers with steel. They haven’t figured out how to build an all aluminum motorcycle trailer that will hold up to the rigors of daily towing without reinforcing it with steel. At ATC we figured that out ten years ago.
ATC has designed its aluminum motorcycle trailer with a full perimeter frame. We build our aluminum motorcycle trailer strong enough to handle your fully decked out bikes without the need for steel reinforcements. This unique design allows ATC to build one of the lightest and strongest aluminum motorcycle trailers on the market. Our perimeter frame aluminum motorcycle trailer design differs from our competitors design in that our sub frames strength comes from our tube frame which runs all the way to the outside of our sub frame. Not like most motorcycle trailers that rely on a frame that includes outriggers to support their side walls.
All things considered, don’t you want your aluminum motorcycle trailer to be “all” aluminum? Don’t cheat yourself, when you go shopping for an aluminum motorcycle trailer, buy the only all aluminum motorcycle trailer on the market, Buy ATC.

The next time you are at the race track, or for that matter just driving down the road, check out the number of trailers you see. Then check out the number of gooseneck style versus tag trailers. Goosenecks trailers will probably out number the tag models two to one. There are a number of reasons you see so many goosenecks. Let me tell you about a few.
If you are looking for the best and easiest way to trailer your cargo you want to make sure you checkout a gooseneck trailer. Gooseneck trailers provide the maximum in payload capacity as well as providing a great ride down the road. The design of the “gooseneck” allows for more weight to be transferred to the tow vehicle. The terms gooseneck refers to the part of the trailer that essentially sits on top of the pick up truck or tow vehicle. With this design the front of the gooseneck trailer rides farther forward on the truck and allows more of the weight to be transferred to both axles on the tow vehicle.
This additional weight transfer can be very beneficial. With the gooseneck design approximately 20 percent of the trailer weight is transferred to the tow vehicle. When you compare this to 10 percent on a “tag “ trailer, the weight transfer can become rather substantial, allowing you to haul more payload.
Because more of the weight is transferred to the tow vehicle with a gooseneck the drivability of the truck and trailer combination becomes much easier. Simple put, you don’t have all of the trailer weight riding on the very end of your tow vehicle hitch. In some cases tag trailers can tow poorly. With the weight resting over the axles of the truck, towing a gooseneck trailer is much smoother

When you were growing up did you have to share a room with any of your siblings? If so, did you share a bed or did you have bunk beds? I don’t know how long bunk beds have been around or just when someone decided to save space by stacking two twin beds, but it sure was a lot of fun growing up and having them. There always seemed to be a fight over who took the bottom bunk. For convenience it was certainly the best choice, but the top was always a lot more fun.
Anyway the reason I’ve been thinking about bunk beds is that now they are in trailers. Bunk trailers to be specific. What do I mean, and why is that important? Well it not often that something you do for a living actually ends up doing a lot of good. I build trailers for a living (www.aluminumtrailer.com) and in this case we built bunk trailers. Five of them, if you want to be precise. They had 11 bunks to sleep up to 22 people. Now why or when would you need that kind of accommodations?
That’s were the doing good part come into play. As I’m sure you are aware the first thing you need when you have a natural disaster or even a local emergency is help. But where does the help sleep if there are no hotels functioning or if local houses are destroyed? Voila! The bunk trailer. Our bunk trailers have seen a lot of use in a lot of emergencies helping a lot of people. And well that makes me appreciate what I do. I’m not sure you’ll ever need one, but if you do please check us out. Thanks and Happy Trailering!

Did you ever have a time when you just had to go? Go? You know what I mean especially if you’re over 40 or decided to have just a little too much coffee that morning. Anyway, what do you do when you have to go and there is no bathroom in sight? Or maybe you have a phobia regarding those port-a-potties at major outdoor events. You know the ones that seemed like they have not been cleaned for at least two months, or that some little kid was just not quite tall enough to reach all the way, and the seat is wet and it’s not water!!
Well I can’t help everyone but if you’re at a race event, or crafts fair, or boy scout jamboree, or even on the job as a landscaper then I every well can help. You see if you are at those events and you are one of the vendors or participants then you more than likely have trailer that you hauled everything to your event. The next step is easy. Add a bathroom to your next trailer purchase. Bathroom trailers are probably the best idea, since well the trailer itself.
You have all the convenience and privacy, and none of the worries (well you do have to dump the tank occasionally). It is truly the last piece of your trailer. Why am I talking about bathroom trailers? Well I just happen to build them. Check us out at www.aluminumtrailer.com. By the way I speak from experience, I’m that guy who always drinks too much coffee in the morning. Happy Trailerin

Sometimes our prospective new dealers ask us about the best ways to sell our aluminum race car haulers. We have found out that just throwing a billboard up at the local race track or taking out a shiny new ad in next weeks motorsports periodical just may not be the best way to reach our customer. The best way to get race car hauler sales for Motiv or ATC Trailers is to take our trailers out to the track and show people.
Yeah magazine ads looks good and billboards catch a lot of eyes, but what helps ATC / Motiv Trailers win is showing customers face-to-face why our trailers are better. Our fit-and-finish is second to none, our full perimeter tube frame cannot be beat, and how about a true and fair warranty that we actually pay in less than 30 days (try getting that from the other guys out there).
ATC and Motiv Race car haulers aren’t just better, we are competitively priced too. I’m not going to say that our price isn’t important, but no where in our sales pitch is price our primary selling point. Our race car haulers sell because they are the best ones out there… any yes we are competitively priced.
Go to our dealer locater or check us out at the track next weekend and you’ll see why seeing is believing!

We want to make this as easy as possible for you. Chose the Aluminum Trailer Company and Motiv Trailers to be your trailer manufacturer of choice.

In an industry where the common practice was to manufacture trailers out of steel, our company was started with the premise that aluminum was the way to go. We have since added a steel line, but we have continued to be on the cutting edge of aluminum trailer manufacturing.

There are literally thousands of applications for the trailers that we build. It constantly amazes me the uses and applications that people come to us with for our specialty trailers. This comes with the territory when you are known in the industry as the premier manufacturer of custom and specialty trailers.
There are way too many to chose from, but one of my favorite specialty trailer applications that we have done a fair amount of are wine bottling trailers. In this specialty application, a company will come to us and in tandem with our engineering team, design from the ground up a trailer which will be loaded with wine bottling equipment. Once all the equipment is installed the trailer will go to different vineyards to set up shop and viola, you have an instant mobile wine operation. This helps the small farmers who may not want to invest in their own equipment in a permanent building. This is costly and not the most efficient. If they hire the specialty trailer with the equipment installed, they only pay for what they use. This is a win both for the smaller farmer and for the operators of the mobile specialty trailer.
The above example is but one of hundreds of specialty trailers that we have manufactured at the Aluminum Trailer Company. Visit our website at www.aluminumtrailer.com to see thousands of pictures in our robust photo gallery. Maybe we have already done something you are considering. If we have not, there is a great chance that we can help you dial in and figure out exactly what you want.

When I first got into the trailer business, I really didn’t know much about enclosed trailers. As the years have passed, I have learned a tremendous amount about enclosed trailers from our customers. I’ve learned what is important and what is the fluffy, foo-foo stuff that doesn’t really provide any value.
I remember my first trip down to Daytona for the race show before the 500. I sat down with racer after racer and learned that a quality design and good fit-and-finish just cannot be beat. There is no shortage of trailer manufacturers out there just pumping out the same old stuff with lackluster quality. We have built our enclosed trailers around a different customer. Our customers recognize precision craftsmanship and quality of design.
By steering out business this direction and taking the upper road, yeah, we miss out on some of the massive amounts of cheap trailers that are sold, but we can sleep well at night knowing that we build the best stuff out there. Our customers recognize this and continue coming back.
Check us out at the race track next time or just click onto our website, I’m confident you’ll learn a lot about the little things that make ATC/Motiv beat to a different drum. Happy Trailering!

What would you consider a mobile office? Those trailers you see on construction sites that are only temporary. The kind that look like stripped down mobile homes? What if a guy with a Blackberry conducts all his business at the local Starbucks while using their signal? Is that his office?
I guess that really either could be considered a mobile office. However, the one seems a little undermanned and the other a little too permanent. If you are looking for a truly mobile office you need a mobile office trailer. That’s where I can help. I build trailers for ATC (www.aluminumtrailer.com) and among all the trailers that we build are mobile office trailers. Why a trailer? Well really it’s the wheels! You can’t get any more mobile than that.
Whether it’s an office for fire control, construction site, service business you are truly mobile with wheels under your office. We have built mobile office trailers for all of those and many more. It’s exactly what you need. And did I mention you can still have your Blackberry and Starbucks. Happy Trailering!

Do you know what the difference is between inclose or enclose? Or the variants of those inclosed or enclosed? Well as it turns out there isn’t any difference they both mean the same thing. However the preferred spelling or usage just happens to be “enclosed”. Now that may not mean much to most people but I just happen to be in the business of making enclosed trailers, and since we advertise we really do try to get things like spelling and grammatical nuances correct. I don’t know how much longer that will actually be important in the age of texting and twitter it seems that you can just make things up as you go along.
Let’s get back to that enclosed trailers thing for a moment. Of course you were wondering what that means? Well weren’t you? An enclosure structurally is like a fence around property or more specifically like a porch on your house,but now you put glass around it. Voila! You now have an enclosed room that used to be an open to the weather porch. That may not mean much to some people, but try reading the Sunday morning paper on your porch in Indiana in January. You would immediately understand why enclosing it with glass makes a lot of sense. If I built enclosed porches, I would continue down this path but I don’t so I won’t.
I make enclosed trailers (www.aluminumtrailer.com) and I was just trying to get my point across in a way most people would understand. You can buy many types of trailers and many of them are open like your front porch, and they work very well for some things, but if you want things dry and not exposed to the elements of the weather you need an enclosed trailer. What kind of enclosed trailer? Well I could tell you now but that would spoil my fun. LOL (that’s one of those texting things I was talking about). Maybe next time we can talk about the different kinds of enclosed trailers, until then Happy Trailering!
