Which Trailer Should You Buy for Your Business?

We're not a one-size-fits-all cargo trailer company. In fact, we differentiate ourselves from the competition by specializing in custom-built trailers for a variety of uses. We are especially skilled at helping our customers find the perfect trailer solution to their business' unique needs. Depending on what type of service you provide, your cargo trailer needs will be different. That's where we can make suggestions, review upgrade options and quote you a price based on your precise specifications.

In today's post, we'll take a look at three examples of how we could match one of our products with your business. So, which trailer should you buy for your business?

Car Shipping/Transport Service

Let's say you run a growing car shipping service. You work with car dealerships all over the country. Your company transports their inventory between various locations, and therefore your drivers are travel long distances and are exposed to all kinds of weather. For this type of business, you'll likely need something that is large, lightweight and offers great stability on the road. Our All Aluminum Cargo Trailers would be a great place to start looking for what you need. These trailers feature all-aluminum frames, which make them lighter than their steel-framed counterparts. This enables them to haul heavier equipment without going over the legal gross vehicle weight.

Open Deck Cargo Trailers from The Trailer Showroom

Did you know that in addition to manufacturing high quality enclosed cargo trailers, we at The Trailer Showroom also offer a variety of open deck trailer models, all made in the USA?

Whether you need a tandem axle open deck trailer to haul equipment for your landscaping business, or a heavy duty car hauler to transport vehicles to your auto lot, or you simply need a single axle utility trailer for those times in life where a small trailer comes in handy, we likely have something that will work for your needs.

In our ongoing effort to meet the specific needs of each one of our valued customers, we offer open deck trailers in a variety of sizes and styles. Each model comes with its own collection of standard features that are designed to ensure that our customers get the absolute best bang for their buck! Of course like any Trailer Showroom product, there are plenty of options.

Car Trailer Guide

Car Trailer Guide

Thinking about buying a trailer to haul your car, motorcycle or other vehicle? If so, you may be wondering which features and specifications to look for. To help you get acquainted with car trailers and their various attributes, we've summarized a few of their key features:

A Simple Guide to Car Trailers:

Enclosed - The first feature to choose when selecting your custom car trailer, is whether you want the structure to be enclosed or open deck. Enclosed trailers are versatile and offer more protection from the elements, and can be fitted with any number of customizable options. From living quarters to upgraded steel hybrid construction, there are lots of ways to customize a car trailer to suit the specific needs of the owner. A few popular enclosed car trailer choices are the 8.5x20 Tandem Axle or the 8.5x26 All Aluminum Car Hauler.

Open Deck - Open deck trailers are a popular choice for heavy duty construction vehicles that can be exposed to the elements without much of a problem. They are also a good choice for single car short hauls. Choose from wood or full steel decks, manual tilt or power hydraulic, gooseneck or ball hitch...the list of options goes on. And just like the enclosed trailers, open deck car haulers can be custom made to meet your specific taste and needs.

Flatbed or Runner Deck - If you choose to go with an open deck trailer, you should decide whether you need a full deck or runners. Depending on what type of car you are transporting, one option may work better than the other.

Ramp Door - Because you'll be transporting a vehicle, ramp doors are a necessity for your enclosed trailer. While some cargo trailers will offer double barn style rear doors or side doors, a car trailer should have a ramp door for easy loading and unloading.

Tread Plates  - Tread plates provide a non-slip surface, ideal for just about any type of cargo trailer. Many customers choose the aluminum tread plate flooring for their car trailers for added protection.

Tie Downs - Tie downs are recommended for car trailers, as they provide added security and keep your car stable throughout the ride. Trailer Showroom offers a variety of tie downs and stabilizers, from heavy duty 5k capacity floor mount D-rings to removable motorcycle wheel chocks.

Floor, Wall and Ceiling Upgrades - If you decide to go with an enclosed trailer, you might want to consider upgrading the interior or exterior surfaces. There are many reasons our customers choose to do this, from wanting added protection against scratches or scuffs to regulating the interior temperature to adding a decorative touch. From black and white checkerboard flooring to raw luan ceiling, Trailer Showroom has a wide selection of upgrades to choose from.

For more information on car trailers, contact Trailer Showroom today at 1-877-458-7245 or visit www.TrailerShowroom.com to view the many other trailer styles available.
