Heavy Duty Open Car Hauler Trailers For Sale

Car carrier trailers are commonly divided into two categories: open and enclosed. Open-air models are typically capable of handling a greater number of vehicles, and enclosed models offer the benefit of protecting cars and trucks from the elements and road debris. Whether you’re looking at an open or closed model, all car carrier trailers feature a built-in ramp for loading and unloading vehicles, and modern units feature power hydraulics to raise and lower the ramp for greater ease of use.

Commercial open car carriers may feature a double-decker style, and typically both decks can be tilted or lifted with hydraulics. On some older car carriers, the vehicles themselves are often secured with wheel straps or ratchets to secure them appropriately during travel. New car carriers may feature perforated flooring and “soft tie-down” systems for better durability and abrasion resistance. Some also include an extra-wide deck for hauling large vehicles and pickup trucks.

Almost every trailer manufacturer makes some sort of car carrier, and there is certainly a variety of new and used car carriers to choose from on TruckPaper.com. Popular brands for sale include Big Tex, Load Trail, PJ, and Sun Country, among others.
