Race Car Trailers
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010In the racing industry there are many different kinds of race car trailers. The weekend racers have their own style of race car trailer. The hobbyists have their own version of race car trailers as well. As you go up the scale into bigger time racing there is a whole different market of race car trailers. Very large racers such as bush series or Nascar use semi trailers for their race car trailers. They pull their race car trailers with a large tractor. At ATC we build race car trailers in each category. From the very smallest go-cart trailers to the largest semi type race car trailers. Each market has different needs inside of their race car haulers but they all accomplish the same things. We have the unique ability to supply both aluminum race car trailers and steel race car trailers. Each time someone approaches us with a specific request for a race car hauler we are able to deliver to them the exact product that they are looking for.
2010 NATDA Trailer Show
Thursday, November 11th, 2010This year the NATDA (North American Trailer Dealer Association) show was again held in Louisville, Kentucky. Although the dealer count was down, ATC and Motiv still had a bang up show. We kicked off the show with a bang as we unveiled our new product changes. We brought a new motorcycle GTS trailer that highlighted all of our new features and a much lower price. This was an obvious hit with our dealer body.
We also brought a 24’ ATC Fastlane race trailer complete with our new proprietary lower rail design, concept exterior fender skirting and our new cast corners. This trailer was received well from all in attendance. I would like to say that this trailer stole the show, but the ATC was upstaged by its younger brother the 28’ Motiv RedLine race trailer.
The 28’ Motiv Race trailer showcased all the new features of the aforementioned ATC Fastlane, but this black beauty also highlighted our 10” spread axle design. To protect the innocent, I won’t mention any names, but numerous other manufactures came to our booth and commented this trailer was “the” trailer of the show. One manufacturer even said that of all the trailers in the show, this Motiv spread axle trailer will be the only trailer dealers remember after the show. We really didn’t come to the show expecting to write orders, but after dealers saw this trailer; we ended up writing quite a few orders for this exact unit.
Thanks to all the dealers who continue to support us and promote our products. We promise… this is only the beginning of our innovation!

Monday, September 27th, 2010Well it’s that time of year again. Yes it is autumn. The time of football games both college and pro. Yes it the time that the leaves are such beautiful colors. It also means that Thanksgiving will be here soon. But for quite a few of you out there this time of year is bittersweet. You are the ones for which the race car season is over. No more victory laps. No more weekends of the smell of oil and tires. Just you and your car stored away for winter, and of course your race car trailer.
Why your race car trailer? Well I’m pretty sure that during the season it was your most neglected part of your race necessities. Therefore, now is the perfect time to take care of business.

Race Car Haulers
Friday, September 10th, 2010Before I started working at The Aluminum Trailer Company six years ago, I couldn’t tell you the difference between one car hauler and another. I’m not even sure I could tell you what a car hauler was! What a difference six years makes. Not only have I gained an appreciation for the car hauler, I am convinced that ATC and Motiv trailers builds the best car haulers in the market today. This is especially true for the racing circuit. Our company has been around for a little over 10 years now. We have spent that time not only perfecting our aluminum framed trailers, but also listening to what our customers were asking of us. The result of this pursuit of the ultimate race car hauler is our Quest series (both gooseneck and tag) in ATC, our RSX series (both gooseneck and tag) in Motiv and our signature stacker series in both companies.
We feel that in terms of quality, fit and finish and value, our car haulers are the industry leaders. The great thing about ATC and Motiv trailers is no matter if you are looking for a unit you can pick up right off a dealers lot of you have exact specifications you need to meet, we can build your trailer. Our design, sales process is second to none. This allows us work with you to design exactly what you need. If you do not need a custom trailer and price is your biggest consideration, we have some options for you there as well in our standard product line. Visit us at www.aluminumtrailer.com to see what we have to offer. We know that you will be pleased if you chose to go with an ATC or Motiv car hauler.
Race Car Haulers
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010ATC 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.
Race Car Haulers
Friday, August 27th, 2010We 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.
Race Trailers
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010Over 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.

Race Car Haulers
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Sometimes 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!
Motorcycle Trailers
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Summer is here and now is a great time to get your ATC motorcycle trailer. You’ve invested in a beautiful bike why would you trust it to just any old cargo trailer. The Aluminum Trailer Company offers the best fit and finish you will find in the motorcycle trailer industry. Take a moment and visit our website www.aluminumtrailer.com Look at the motorcycle trailer section then look for the GTX package. This motorcycle trailer package will give you just about every feature you could want in your trailer, but if that is not enough feel free to give one us a call and we will help you design your own custom trailer to give you exactly what you want.
Just another thought an ATC motorcycle is so practical. Instead of adding to your garage just add a trailer that you can use to store your bikes and transport safely to the next bike rally.
Enclosed Trailers
Friday, July 2nd, 2010You 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

Monday, June 21st, 2010Enclosed trailers are easy to find. All you have to do is look over the road, look on line or look at your nearest trailer dealer.

Race Trailer
Friday, May 21st, 2010If you are in the market for a race trailer, congratulations, you have come to the right place. ATC and Motiv have become know as market leaders in the race trailer business. So you might ask, what really makes ATC and Motiv different from the countless other brands out there? And the answer to that is “Everything”
No where in our sales pitch will you ever hear us taut that we are cheaper than the other guy. We’re simply not the cheapest race trailer in the business, nor do we want to be. If you’re looking for cheapest price you need to get yourself down to South Georgia and go shopping. If you are looking for value and quality of ownership, that’s were ATC and Motiv come in.
We build our aluminum and steel race trailers on a full perimeter tube frame which provides commercial grade quality. Our workmanship is second to none. And let’s talk about warranty too. We don’t have near the warranty issues as our competitors, due to our forward thinking engineering process, but once in a while we do make mistakes. Not only do we pay our warranty claims, (which now days is becoming a rarity) but we offer industry-leading customer service though the process. Try getting that out of South Georgia!
Remember that thing your dad told you when you were younger about the fact that you always get what you pay for… Well that has never been truer. At ATC and Motiv our prices are competitive and our product shines above the rest. Please allow us to show you why ATC and Motiv have risen to the top of the race trailer market.
Race Trailers
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010Wow, this was my first time at Limrock for a Porsche Club event with the fine folks from the CVR (Connecticut Valley Region). I was able to sit back and catch up with many of our ATC customers and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Porsches screaming around the track. And let me tell you, with the mufflers off, there really aren’t words to explain the sense of excitement that comes from hearing the Porsches let out a banshee-wail as they come out of the final corner heading onto the straight away.
Driving around the paddock was rewarding as I was able to catch up and thank many of our ATC and Motiv customers for choosing our trailers. Let’s be honest Porsche guys are performance oriented folks that recognize quality and precision craftsmanship. That is why it meant so much to me to see out trailers so well represented at this event. I was proud that of the oodles and oodles of trailers out there, ATC and Motiv appeared to be the most represented brand. I guess a lot of our hard work back at the factory is paying off.
And if I didn’t mention one of my favorite parts of attending Limerock, I just wouldn’t be doing this story justice. Being handed the keys to my choice of Porsche and taking test laps was out-of-this-world exciting. While I am still pretty green at racing, it was exhilarating to say the least, to be sitting behind the wheel of such and incredible race machine taking laps. Thanks to Chip and all the other kind folks at Danbury Porsche for your hospitality.
To all the CVR members, thanks for your continued support of ATC and Motiv Trailers and keep the petal to the metal! We’ll see you again next year at Limerock!
RACE TRAILERS
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010It’s tax time!!!!! I can think of lots of things to do with my money, but with race season getting underway, why not contact ATC and Motiv Trailers and use it to buy a race trailer. We have so many different things that you can do with race trailers it is ridiculous. Trust me, after talking with our sales staff, you will not being going home with the same trailer that everyone else has. We have so many different custom options that can be put on your race trailer that will differentiate you from the pack. You will be leaving them in the dust. For more information visit us at www.aluminumtrailer.com.
Race Trailers
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010It’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.
Race Car Haulers
Friday, May 8th, 2009ATC 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.
Stacker Trailers from Motiv and ATC
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007As the new 2008 model year trailers are rapidly approaching, Motiv is preparing to unveil our new SSX Stacker model. Many customers have been asking for a steel stacker from ATC / Motiv. With ATC’s incredible success in the aluminum stacker trailer market, it only makes sense to broaden our product offering and provide customers with a steel version of of one of ATC’s most popular models.
Our 2008 SSX Stacker model is set to launch in Mid August. The SSX will be well equipped with standard features such as aluminum interior walls and ceiling, 4000# lift system, battery boxed and wired, side door with recessed slam latch, 10′ interior height, full perimeter steel frame, and .040 side wall skins. For customers who still want additional luxuries, Motiv has also created a value-priced convenience package that will offer even more features.
Call us today for a sneak peak and additional info on this exciting new model from Motiv and ATC.
Motiv Trailers with Silver Paint
Thursday, April 12th, 2007|
|
Due to overwhelming customer requests Motiv now paints our frames silver. This may seem like a small shift, but according to consumers, this new paint gives the trailer a much cleaner look. This new silver paint does cost more than the typical black primer paint, but helps the trailer maintain that “upper-end look” that Motiv Trailers has become associated with. See your dealer to see which models get this new silver look. |
