Moving a vehicle from point A to point B is not always as simple as driving it. Sometimes you will be dealing with a broken down vehicle, specialty vehicle, or even multiple vehicles. You can't just tow everything behind your car-after all, you may not have a hitch or you may not feel comfortable hoisting and hauling the vehicle. A much better way to care for the car is by using car haulers for all of your vehicle transport.
car haulers are one of the lesser-known trailers you can purchase. However, they offer drivers many benefits over traditional towing. car haulers can also be a great cost saver for multiple vehicle and long distance moving jobs.
To make an informed purchase of a car hauler, you need to consider your needs and what you will be using the equipment to do. car haulers come in many different styles. Only by examining your needs will you be able to choose the style that works best for you.
A main difference in the styles stems from the number of cars being towed. car haulers are available as stand alone trucks or as smaller attachment trailers that can be hauled behind a rig or pickup truck. The most popular models seem to be the one car, three car, and six or more car styles. Generally, if you are hauling six or more cars at a time, you will want to use a rig for towing or invest in a dedicated car hauler truck.
The next major difference in car haulers is that they are available as open air trailers or closed trailers. Both types of car haulers have their place. Open air trailers are lighter, and most of the multiple car haulers are built in the open air style. Closed car haulers typically only haul one or two vehicles, and are completely enclosed so that the car is not at all visible or exposed to the elements.
Closed car haulers are generally used for more expensive collectible cars or professional racing vehicles.
They offer protection from the environment as well as a shield from prying eyes. If you are traveling with a very expensive vehicle, this shielding can help you avoid unnecessary harassment or theft of the vehicle. Additionally, the enclosed space offers storage opportunities not available in open air models.
Open air car haulers are often used for personal towing and the transport of less valuable cars. Large multi-car haulers are often open air and are used by dealerships and junkyards to haul cars to new locations or to a recycling center for scrap. Open air trailers are less expensive than enclosed trailers, and can be easier on the towing vehicle due to their lighter weight.
As you consider your personal needs, you may feel drawn to one style or another. Research the costs carefully, and take the time to explore multiple models and designs.
