Custom Built to Order Enclosed Trailers vs Stock Trailers

It goes without saying that when you’re transporting your vehicle — whether it be an exotic car, super car, classic car, race car, or any other — you want it to arrive at the destination in the same condition that you loaded it in.

If you’re transporting with anything other than a custom built enclosed car trailer and a customized trailer loading system, you’re jeopardizing your vehicle not only during transit, but also during your loading and unloading process.

Custom Built to Order Enclosed Trailers vs Stock Enclosed Trailers

If you’re not currently using a custom enclosed trailer, you might not think it’s necessary for you. After all — your car has never been damaged, it’s easy enough to load and unload, and custom built enclosed trailers are expensive.

But just because your car has never been damaged, doesn’t eliminate the risk that you are taking every time you transport your priceless vehicle.

Find out the benefits of upgrading to a custom built enclosed trailer and a customized trailer loading system, and why the investment immediately pays for itself.

Custom Built vs Stock Trailers

If you’re already on board with all of the benefits of an enclosed trailer, then you might think there’s not much of a difference between your standard enclosed trailer and a custom built trailer.

There are actually many  benefits, both to ensuring the safety of your car and improving the ease of loading. We’ve outlined some of the highlights:

• Custom built enclosed trailers are built with your vehicle and activities in mind. Customizing allows your trailer to be tailored to fit your activities, such as track days and indoor shows.  
• Lower loading angle. Maybe your car does have standard dimensions, but it has an extremely low profile. The only way to guarantee the industry lowest loading angle is to invest in a custom built enclosed trailer and loading system. 
• You don’t have to rely on a bunch of different parts (and people). Are you using blocks of wood to load? How about a variety of different ramps? Do you have to pull in your wife and kids to help? If the answer is yes, you’re wasting your time and energy loading. A custom enclosed trailer can streamline this with one easy system. 
• Your car won’t move an inch during transit. With standard trailers and loading routines, there is little to no guarantee that your car isn’t going to move. With a custom loading system and enclosed trailer, four fixed position lashing winches with 2” straps are used to hold the car in place during transport. The lashing winches are mounted directly to the trailer chassis not just the floor, providing maximum strength.

You might be thinking “That all sounds nice, but customizing a trailer and loading system is expensive.” While it is true that custom options are a more significant, up front, investment — your vehicle loading system should match the value of your vehicle.

If you have a rare exotic, super, or classic car — just one ding, dent, scratch, or scrape from improper loading could more than pay for a custom trailer and loading system.

Looking to Upgrade?

If you already have an enclosed car trailer, you can retrofit a custom loading system right inside. This is an easy way to upgrade your current loading process, and enjoy all the benefits of a custom enclosed trailer.
