Our car carrier trailers are specifically designed to withstand the demanding operating conditions in Africa. They are well suited for operation on unpaved roads, cross-border transport, and vehicle distribution from ports to dealerships. Various capacity configurations are available to meet the transport needs of sedans, SUVs, and light commercial vehicles.
A car carrier trailer (also named car hauler trailer, vehicle transport trailer) is a special‑purpose semi‑trailer for mass delivery of sedans, SUVs and pickup trucks, working together with a tractor unit.
Most export‑oriented models adopt hydraulic double‑deck skeletal structure. The upper deck height can be adjusted by hydraulic cylinders. Anti‑slip ramps allow vehicles to drive on and off directly. A standard 3‑axle unit can carry 6‑8 passenger vehicles per trip. Wheel chocks and ratchet straps lock vehicles firmly to prevent scratches and shifting during long‑haul travel.
In addition to open-style trailers, enclosed car transport trailers are also available; featuring a fully enclosed body, they offer superior protection against dust and impacts, making them ideal for transporting high-value vehicles.
