Custom Race Car Trailers | Precision-Built Transport Units

 

Banner - Exp2 - Race Car Trailer - mobile

When you've got a race car, you need more than a trailer; you need a high-performance transport unit engineered with the same precision and passion that drives you on the track. At Craftsmen Industries, we design and build custom race car trailers that combine aerospace-grade engineering, brand-ready aesthetics, and uncompromising reliability. Whether you're hauling a dragster, show vehicle, or a full pit-crew setup, our trailers are purpose-built to safeguard your investment, streamline your operation, and elevate your team's image on every road and at every race.

Research demonstrates the critical importance of trailer stability in real-world performance. For instance, a peer-reviewed study by Vempaty and He (2017) found that car-trailer systems can have a rollover threshold as low as 0.6 g, meaning even minor design flaws can compromise safety at highway speeds.

That's why every Craftsmen Industries trailer is engineered for optimized weight distribution, structural rigidity, and safety control,  giving you the confidence to focus on winning, knowing your vehicle and equipment are protected by industry-leading design.

Why Race Teams Choose Craftsmen Industries

At Craftsmen Industries, we understand that a race car trailer is more than just a hauler; it's a critical part of your competitive setup. That's why we design and build each custom trailer to deliver the strength, precision, and reliability your team depends on. Unlike generic cargo units, our race car trailers are purpose-built to perform at the highest level, both on the road and at the track, and everywhere in between.

Ultra-Lightweight Monocoque Construction

Crafted from billet aluminum, routed and formed for exceptional strength and reduced weight. The result is better fuel efficiency, improved stability, and long-term durability. Independent studies have shown that lightweighting reduces energy use without compromising performance, a key factor in meeting standards such as 49 CFR § 571.223 for impact protection and structural integrity.

Hydraulic Tilt-Adjust Lift Gates

A universal hydraulic lift system provides smooth, safe loading and unloading on any surface. Designed with fewer moving parts, it ensures faster setup times and low maintenance for dependable performance at every event.

Customizable Interiors

Design your trailer to fit your team's workflow. Choose from tire racks, tool cabinets, workstations, climate control, and integrated electronics,  all configured to support efficient race-day operations.

DOT & FMVSS Compliance

Every Craftsmen trailer is engineered to meet or exceed federal DOT and FMVSS safety standards, giving you full confidence that your rig is compliant, secure, and ready for transport nationwide.

Every Craftsmen Industries trailer is built for reliability, precision, and track-day readiness,  protecting your investment and empowering your performance, mile after mile.

 The Craftsmen Advantage: Engineering That Sets You Ahead

At Craftsmen Industries, we don't just build trailers, we engineer high-performance transport systems trusted by professional race teams, dealers, and collectors across the nation. With decades of experience in precision fabrication, compliance, and service, we deliver custom race car trailers that perform as reliably as the machines they carry.

In-House Design and Fabrication

Every aspect of our race car trailers, from CAD modeling and material selection to machining, welding, and final assembly, is completed in-house at our advanced facility. This integrated process ensures tighter quality control, faster turnaround, and the ability to guarantee that every trailer meets our stringent standards for reliability and performance.

Peer-reviewed research indicates that improper loading can render car-trailer combinations unstable at highway speeds, underscoring the importance of engineered layouts and weight distribution.

Certified Quality & Compliance

We are proudly certified to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D standards and follow all Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations. Every trailer is engineered to meet or exceed DOT and FMVSS safety standards, giving you full confidence that your unit is legal, road-ready, and built to last.

End-to-End Support & Service

Our relationship doesn't end at delivery. From the first consultation to post-delivery maintenance and technical support, we're committed to ensuring your trailer operates at peak performance and safety, mile after mile, season after season.
