Here are some of the common questions regarding ATC aluminum trailers I have received over the past few years.
What does ATC stand for in ATC Trailers?
Aluminum Trailer Company is what the abbreviation ATC stands for.
Are aluminum trailers worth the money?
Trailers with aluminum frames do not suffer from oxidation/rust the way steel trailers do. They are also lighter in empty weight which increases payload and decreases wear and tear. For example, an empty 28 ft enclosed car hauler with cabinets weighs 3800 lbs empty. A steel frame 28 ft trailer with interior will weigh 4500 lbs or more.
Are ATC trailers worth the extra money - is the only difference the aluminum frame?
ATC enclosed trailers and their car haulers are extremely detail-oriented, well-engineered, and backed up by a great warranty. Their car haulers go through load analysis. All ATC frames are tube aluminum welded by skilled professionals.
The exteriors are screwless using minimum .030 aluminum skin for a very flat and straight side:
Do aluminum trailers hold their value?
Yes. They hold their value better than steel frame trailers.
