3 Car Trailer

 

When you need to haul vehicles, going one by one may protect the cars but it is very operationally inefficient. With gas prices all over the map this year and next year likely bringing more of the same, you may want to look into buying your own 3 car trailer. The time and money you save moving vehicles as sets instead of as one-off trips will help you stay in the black in this coming year. Three car trailers can be a very practical investment. They are also a relatively inexpensive purchase, due to the number of used 3 car trailers available. However, even buying new will not necessarily break the bank. While a used 3 car trailer might go for as little as $2500, new 3 car trailers can be had for between $12,000 - $25,000 depending on your model and desired style. There are several styles of 3 car trailer.

The most common are the open air flat trailer, the open air stacker, the gooseneck, and the enclosed stacker. The kind of vehicles you haul and the kind of vehicle you are using to do the hauling may dictate your choice. You may also want to consider the kinds of roads you will be driving-3 car trailers max out at 53 feet of length. If length is an issue, you will definitely want to consider a stacker model as they are 4 to 6 feet shorter than the regular 3 car trailers. When using a stacker, two cars will be lifted to the upper level while one remains below. Lift equipment to get the cars to the second level is standard on stacker trailers. Enclosed gooseneck stackers can be a great option as the space in the gooseneck can be used for additional storage and the enclosure will protect the vehicles from road hazards.

However, if your towing vehicle is not as powerful as you'd like, you may want to consider staying with an open air 3 car trailer. Enclosed trailers do have their advantages, but a major disadvantage is the additional weight of the trailer. Also, because they function as a block towed behind the car, enclosed trailers are more vulnerable to upset in harsh windy conditions. For lighter weight and better maneuverability in harsh driving conditions, you may want to go with the open air trailer.

The main concern with an open air 3 car trailer is ensuring that your vehicles are properly secured. Nothing is worse than a loose car in traffic. Not only do they cause a great deal of damage, but the vehicle itself is usually a total loss. Enclosed trailers do offer some prevention for slippage, but cars in an enclosed stacker arrangement should also be properly secured. Speaking of securing the vehicles, you will also want to make sure that your 3 car trailer is properly attached to your towing vehicle. As a loaded 3 car trailer has a bit of heft to it, weak hitches may not be able to handle the load. When you talk to your order specialist for a quote, you may want to discuss getting a special towing hitch for this venture. Armed with a proper strength towing hitch, you will be able to begin using your 3 car trailer with confidence and start seeing the operational benefits immediately.
