Open Car Trailers

Open car trailers are a versatile and cost-effective solution for transporting vehicles. Unlike enclosed trailers, open car trailers have no walls or ceilings, leaving the car exposed to the elements. However, they offer several advantages that make them a popular choice among car enthusiasts, dealers, and transport professionals. Millennium Trailers provides high-quality open car trailers manufactured by Sloan, designed to meet a variety of needs with reliability and ease of use.

Advantages of Open Car Trailers

1. Affordability: One of the main reasons many people opt for open car trailers is their cost-effectiveness. Without the additional materials and construction needed for walls and ceilings, these trailers are generally less expensive than their enclosed counterparts. This makes them an attractive option for those looking to transport vehicles on a budget.
2. Ease of Use: Open car trailers are straightforward and easy to use. The absence of walls and a roof makes loading and unloading vehicles much simpler and quicker. This is particularly beneficial for frequent use, such as transporting cars to and from races, shows, or dealerships.
3. Lightweight Construction: Due to the lack of an enclosed structure, open car trailers are typically lighter than enclosed trailers. This can result in better fuel efficiency for the towing vehicle and easier handling and maneuvering of the trailer itself.
4. Versatility: Open car trailers can accommodate a wide range of vehicle sizes and types. Whether you need to transport a compact car, a mid-sized sedan, or even a larger vehicle, there are open car trailers available in various sizes and configurations to suit your needs.

Features of Millennium Trailers’ Open Car Trailers

Millennium Trailers offers a selection of open car trailers from the reputable manufacturer Sloan. These trailers are designed with both functionality and durability in mind, ensuring that your vehicle is transported safely and securely.

1. Rollback Design

Sloan’s open car trailers feature a rollback design that simplifies the loading and unloading process. By locking the wheel hubs and driving the tow vehicle backwards, the trailer slants, allowing the car to be driven onto the trailer with ease. This design minimizes the risk of damage to the vehicle during loading and unloading.

2. Material Options

Millennium Trailers’ open car trailers come in both steel and aluminum frames, with flooring options that include wood, steel, or aluminum. Each material has its own benefits:

• Steel: Known for its strength and durability, steel is an excellent choice for those who need a robust and long-lasting trailer. However, steel trailers may be heavier and more susceptible to rust if not properly maintained.
• Aluminum: Lightweight and resistant to corrosion, aluminum trailers are easier to tow and maintain. They are ideal for those who prioritize ease of use and longevity.
• Wood Flooring: Provides a classic look and is often more affordable. However, it may require more maintenance to prevent damage from moisture and wear.
• Steel Flooring: Offers excellent durability and strength, ideal for heavy-duty use. Like steel frames, steel floors can be prone to rust without proper care.
• Aluminum Flooring: Combines the benefits of being lightweight and resistant to corrosion, making it a popular choice for many users.

3. Safety and Security Features

While open car trailers do not have the enclosed security features, they still include important safety components to ensure the vehicle remains secure during transport. Tie-down points and straps are essential for keeping the vehicle in place. Some models may also include wheel stops and ramps to further assist with loading and unloading.

4. Customization

At Millennium Trailers, we understand that each customer has unique needs. That’s why we offer customization options for our open car trailers. Whether you need specific dimensions, additional tie-down points, or other features, we can work with you to create a trailer that meets your exact specifications.

Considerations When Using Open Car Trailers

While open car trailers offer many advantages, there are also some considerations to keep in mind to ensure the safe and efficient transport of your vehicle:

1. Exposure to Elements: Since open car trailers lack walls and a roof, the transported vehicle is exposed to the weather and road debris. It’s important to be mindful of the weather conditions and consider using protective covers or tarps to shield your vehicle from potential damage.
2. Security Concerns: The lack of enclosure means that vehicles on open car trailers are more visible and potentially more vulnerable to theft or vandalism. Ensure that you park in secure, well-lit areas and consider using additional security measures such as wheel locks or alarm systems.
3. Loading and Unloading: Although the rollback design of Sloan trailers simplifies the loading process, it’s still crucial to follow proper procedures to prevent accidents or damage. Ensure that the trailer is on a flat, stable surface and that all tie-downs and safety features are correctly used.
