Delivery detailsAluminum trailers for cars, Jeeps, and projects.
Haul vehicles on an aluminum deck sized to your wheelbase and curb weight — with the low loading angle that project cars need.
What you typically haul.
The recommended 6.5×20 tandem tilt provides a nominal 78×240-inch deck and 5,350 lb estimated base payload for compatible cars and project vehicles. Vehicle transport is decided by three comparisons: deck length versus wheelbase and overall length, usable deck width versus track and tire width, and remaining payload versus loaded vehicle weight. The builder publishes the trailer figures; compare them with the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications before reserving.

What to add. What to skip.
A short list beats a long options sheet. These calls come from how this work actually loads and rides — change any of them in the builder.
Worth adding
Earns its keep on every trip.
- swivel D-ring tie-downs
- Recessed swivel D-rings positioned for four-corner vehicle strapping.
- Tilt deck or ramps
- A tilt bed or stowaway ramps set the loading angle for low-clearance vehicles.
- Tandem axles with brakes
- Vehicle loads favor tandem axles and brakes for stability and stopping.
Quantities, sizes, and loading specifics are confirmed in the builder
Skip unless the work demands it
Money better left on the deck.
- Tall side walls
- Solid tall walls are often unnecessary for vehicle transport; low rail keeps loading sight lines clear.
If the work changes, your specialist can revisit these with you
- Loading
- Loading angle matters most for low-clearance vehicles — a tilt deck or long ramps keep approach shallow.
- Organization
- Four secure corner tie-down points and clear deck space cover most vehicle transport needs.
- Power
- Most auto-hauling setups need no added power beyond standard lighting.
