What is a race trailer?
Posted on September 13, 2024
A reliable and well-equipped race trailer is essential for anyone involved in racing. When you are hauling race cars, having the right trailer can make the difference between an efficient race weekend and a logistical nightmare.
These enclosed car haulers are specifically designed to transport race vehicles and related equipment to and from the track. Theys come in various shapes, sizes, and configurations, with custom options tailored to meet the needs of racers. From small, lightweight trailers to massive units for multiple vehicles, there’s a solution for everyone, whether you’re an amateur or a seasoned professional.
Enclosed race cargo trailers offer much more protection than open trailers, providing a fully enclosed space to transport vehicles and equipment. This type of trailer shields your car from weather, road debris, and theft, making it a popular choice among serious racers. Enclosed trailers can also offer additional storage space for tools, tires, and other essentials.
Choosing the right race cargo trailer goes beyond selecting the type. Trailers can be heavily customized to suit your specific needs. Here are some options and features to consider:
- Aluminum or vinyl finished interior walls & ceiling
- Rubber tread plate flooring
- Electrical package (Includes outlets, panel box, motorbase plug & extra lighting)
- Generator boxes & compartments
- Base & upper cabinets.
- Spread axles
- Wing spoilers with lighting
- LED loading lights & angled race lights
- Tie-downs & e-track systems
- Axle capacity upgrades
- Heavy duty ramp
The size of your race cargo trailer will depend on the type of vehicle(s) you plan to transport. Make sure to check the trailer’s weight capacity, ensuring that it can safely carry the load.
Good lighting is essential, especially if you are loading and unloading at night. Many enclosed trailers offer interior LED lighting and exterior floodlights for added visibility.
Race cargo trailers are more than just a mode of transport; they are an essential tool for any serious racer. Whether you need a simple trailer for a weekend at the track or a high-end custom build for a national racing tour, we have options to suit every need and budget!
