A specialized transport solution, this equipment serves to protect vehicles from the elements and potential road hazards during transit. It features a fully enclosed structure, typically constructed of aluminum or steel, mounted on a wheeled chassis. Its length of 24 feet provides ample space for hauling standard-sized cars, race cars, or other valuable automobiles securely. Examples include transporting a classic car to a show or relocating a vehicle across the country while shielding it from weather and debris.
The utilization of such a unit offers several key advantages. Protection from weather conditions, such as rain, snow, and sun, is paramount, preserving the vehicle’s finish and preventing corrosion. Security against theft and vandalism is also enhanced due to the enclosed nature, making it more difficult to access the cargo. Historically, open car carriers were common, but the increasing value of vehicles and the desire for greater protection spurred the development and adoption of enclosed options. This type of trailer represents a significant investment in preserving the condition and value of the transported asset.
