Car / Eqmnt Haulers

Great plans for Car Hauler and Equipment Carrier Trailers are available here.  These include full engineering throughout the designs.  With Traditional Styles as well as Drive-Over Fender Styles, we cover many important needs.  And, we include a lot of notes to explain the details and make building easy.

Plans include many build options – with notes and images – to show you how to customize the trailer for your needs.  These are Complete Plans!  They include Detail Drawings, Illustrated Instructions (with both Material and Component Lists), as well as the CAD Files (DXF) for special parts – like the drive-over fender pieces.

The Job Of A Car Trailer

Car hauler trailers, and equipment transport trailers are a little different animal than most other trailer styles.  These are intended to carry vehicles - often heavy vehicles - so the trailers must be strong in some ways that other trailers are not.

A lot of trailers carry a dispersed load - meaning the load is spread out over the trailer deck.  On the other hand, Car Trailers and Equipment Transport Trailers carry the heavy loads often with contact at only 4 points - yes, points where the 4 wheels contact the trailer top.  In addition, the load at these 4 points is often increased by strapping the vehicle tight to the trailer.

Another way this difference expresses itself: When a vehicle is loaded onto the trailer, it comes on at the end, then rolls forward - just the points of contact. That means the trailer must be strong all the way along to support the rolling load. It also means the trailer must be strong all the way to the back, because the first load contact is always at the end of the frame.

In engineering terms, this is "point loading", so the trailer must be strong where the machinery contact happens.  Such is the life of a Car Hauler trailer and an Equipment Trailer.

Strength Where It Counts

Like all our plans, we did the homework for these car trailer plans.  Read this article about some of our research for car hauler frame design.  Solid engineering is the "foundation" in all our trailer plans, including for YOUR new car hauler!  - All so you can build with confidence.

Plans are available in the classic low deck car hauler style, as well as plans for drive-over fenders.  We also have Gravity Tilt Deck trailers for those of you wanting a little more challenge in your trailer building project.

All the trailer plans include many options like various tie-down points, winch locations, and more - which you can put on as you see fit.  Ramps, decking styles, a Winch or not, and many more.  So many other choices as well, so you can build it the way you want it.  See the individual products for more information.

When you are ready to build, we have the Car Hauler and Equipment Transport trailer plans to do the job.  See the list of trailers above.  Select your plans, the download them today, right after purchase.  You can get started on your project in only a few minutes.
