car carrier trailer
SUNSKY manufactures heavy-duty car carrier trailers designed for efficient and secure vehicle transportation. Also known as car transport trailers, auto transport trailers, vehicle transporters, and car haulers, our trailers are engineered to carry multiple passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, and other vehicles over long-distance and cross-border routes.
What Is a Car Carrier Trailer?
A car carrier trailer is a specialized trailer designed to transport multiple vehicles safely and efficiently. It is also commonly called a car transport trailer, auto transport trailer, vehicle transporter, or car hauler.
Unlike a standard flatbed trailer, a car carrier is specifically designed around vehicle dimensions, loading clearance, deck height, wheel positioning, and securement requirements. Many car transport trailers use multiple loading levels or adjustable decks to increase transportation capacity without requiring additional trailer combinations.
Depending on the application, a vehicle transporter can be configured to carry passenger cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and other light vehicles. Hydraulic ramps and adjustable decks can simplify loading and unloading, while wheel straps, chains, locking points, and other securement equipment help keep vehicles stable during transportation.
Car carrier trailers are widely used by automobile manufacturers, dealerships, vehicle logistics companies, rental fleets, auction operators, and cross-border vehicle transport businesses.

FAQ
How many cars can a car carrier trailer transport?
The number of vehicles depends on the trailer dimensions, deck configuration, vehicle size, axle rating, and local weight regulations. A commercial multi-level car carrier can transport several passenger vehicles in one trip, while the exact capacity should be confirmed according to the vehicle models and trailer design.
What is the difference between a car carrier and an auto transport trailer?
In most commercial applications, car carrier, car transport trailer, auto transport trailer, vehicle transporter, and car hauler describe similar equipment designed to move vehicles. The exact design can vary in terms of loading levels, vehicle capacity, axle configuration, and loading system.
How much does a car carrier trailer cost?
The price depends on the axle configuration, payload, dimensions, number of loading levels, hydraulic equipment, suspension, braking system, steel specification, and customization requirements. Contact SUNSKY with your required configuration for an accurate quotation.
What vehicles can a car transporter carry?
A vehicle transporter can be designed for passenger cars, sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and other light vehicles. The actual capacity depends on vehicle dimensions, deck clearance, axle load, and trailer configuration.
Can a car carrier transport SUVs and pickup trucks?
Yes. A car carrier can be designed to transport SUVs and pickup trucks. However, taller and heavier vehicles may require additional deck clearance, stronger loading components, or a different axle configuration.
How are cars secured during transportation?
Vehicles are typically secured using wheel straps, wheel stops, lashing points, chains, or other suitable securement equipment. Correct vehicle positioning and securement are essential for preventing movement during transportation.
What axle configurations are available?
SUNSKY can provide different axle configurations, including 2-axle and 3-axle designs. The appropriate configuration depends on the required payload, vehicle capacity, road regulations, and operating conditions.
Is a hydraulic vehicle transporter better than a fixed-deck trailer?

Can SUNSKY customize a car carrier trailer?
A hydraulic configuration offers greater flexibility when loading vehicles with different dimensions. Adjustable decks and hydraulic ramps can improve loading efficiency, but the best design depends on the operator’s vehicle mix, transport volume, and budget.
