Race day and exhibition work both come down to arriving set up, not still unpacking – the car, the spares, the tools and the display gear all need to travel together and arrive in the same condition they left in. Running a separate van for parts and tools alongside a car trailer adds a second vehicle and a second driver to every event. Every trailer on this page stays under 3,500kg ATM, so it’s towable on a standard car licence behind the tow vehicle already used for race or event day.
Why One Trailer Beats Two Vehicles
Secure, weatherproof transport for car and gear
The Cargo Trailer 715 C2 has a 330 kg tare against a 750 kg ATM – 420 kg of legal payload for tools and spares, locked and dry in transit. See current enclosed trailer specs.
Tow it with the vehicle you already own
Every trailer in this range sits under 3,500kg ATM – no truck, no HR licence, no second driver just to move the parts van.
One trip instead of two vehicles
Carrying the vehicle and its support gear on one trailer, or in a purpose-built enclosed unit, removes the need for a separate van and driver at every event.
Doubles as lockable trackside storage
An enclosed trailer isn’t just transport – parked at the track or venue, it becomes secure, weatherproof storage for tools and equipment for the duration of the event.
What Are You Moving?
Car and Equipment Together
An enclosed trailer protects the vehicle and equipment between events and doubles as lockable trackside storage once parked.
Straightforward Car-Only Transport
An auto-transporter suits a straightforward car-only run where secure enclosed storage for parts isn’t needed.
Hospitality and Display Space
A custom cabin trailer covers a hospitality or display space at an exhibition or trackside event, towed in already fitted out.
Pit Equipment and Spares
Tyres, spares and pit equipment travel flat and secure alongside the car, in one trip instead of a separate van run.
Low-Clearance Race Cars
A tilt-deck trailer brings the whole tray to ground level, which suits a low-clearance race car that a fixed-ramp trailer can’t load.
Heavier Race Cars and Combos
A maxi-load trailer takes the combined weight of a heavier race car plus spares and equipment that a standard car trailer isn’t rated for.
How Race Teams and Exhibition Operators Use Them
The Weekend Race Team
A weekend race meeting means transporting the car, spares, tools and tyres to the track, then having somewhere secure to keep it all for the day. An enclosed trailer carries everything in one tow and converts into lockable trackside storage once parked, removing the need for a separate parts van and driver. Staying under 3,500kg ATM keeps the whole setup towable on a standard car licence for anyone on the team. See enclosed trailers.
The Car Club or Track Day Organiser
Moving a car to a track day or club event without the extra gear that a full race setup needs is a simpler job – the car just needs to arrive safely and on time. An auto-transporter loads and secures the car in minutes for exactly that straightforward run, without paying for enclosed storage capacity that won’t get used. See auto-transporter trailers.
The Exhibition and Trackside Hospitality Operator
A trackside hospitality space or exhibition display needs to look finished the moment it’s set up, not assembled from parts on arrival. A custom cabin trailer tows in already fitted out for the purpose – client hospitality, product display, VIP space – and tows away again once the event wraps, with nothing left to store or rebuild before the next one. See custom cabin trailers.
Load and Legality
ATM (Aggregate Trailer Mass) is the maximum legal weight of the trailer plus its load. Tare is the trailer’s own empty weight. Payload is what’s left over – ATM minus tare – and it’s the number that actually limits how much you can carry on a given trip. Every trailer on this page stays at or under 3,500kg ATM, which keeps it towable on a standard car licence, but ball weight, tie-down duty and your tow vehicle’s own towing capacity still need checking against the actual load. Work out payload and ball weight for a specific trailer and tow vehicle combination with the trailer load calculator, or read the trailer buying & compliance guide for ATM, GTM and braking rules in full.

Do I need a special licence to tow a race or exhibition trailer?
No, provided the trailer’s ATM is 3,500kg or under, which covers every trailer on this page – a standard car driving licence is enough.
Can an enclosed trailer be used as storage at the track?
Yes – once parked, an enclosed trailer becomes secure, weatherproof storage for tools and equipment for the duration of the event.
What trailer suits a hospitality or display space at an exhibition?
A custom cabin trailer – it tows in already fitted out for hospitality, display or VIP space. See custom cabin trailers.
