2 Features to Look for When Purchasing an Enclosed Cargo Trailer for Your Drag Car

Posted on

If you have recently built a car that you are itching to take to the drag strip, you may be looking for a way to take it to events without having to drive it on the road. While looking at the numerous options for cargo trailers, however, you may be stumped as to which one you should buy.

While you may have decided that you want an enclosed trailer to protect your car from the weather, dust, and impact damage, you may be undecided on what else you want to have. If so, there are a couple of features for which you should be on the lookout when trying to decide on which enclosed cargo trailer you should purchase for your drag car.

1. Choose Tandem-Axle Over Single-Axle Wheels

One thing that you need to consider when looking at various features for an enclosed trailer for your drag car is the number of axles and wheels. While there are trailers with single axles that support two wheels, you should opt for one with a tandem-axle setup that uses four wheels.

The reason why you should choose a tandem-axle wheel system is that the extra wheels can help support the weight of your car. The added axle also provides for easier maneuverability, and the extra wheels have a stronger braking system. These features can help you keep yourself and the car safer while you are hauling the trailer. 

2. Look for a Trailer with a Separate Forward Compartment

Another feature for which you should look when choosing a trailer for your car is a forward compartment that provides space that is separate from your car. Especially when you are going to the drag strip, you will have need tools, extra parts, and even an extra pair of slicks. 

If you choose a trailer with only one compartment, these items will be traveling right next to the car. If they were to shift, your drag car's body would be bombarded and could sustain damage. A separate compartment would keep these items away from your car while providing you with a mobile workshop.

When choosing an enclosed trailer for your drag car, features that make hauling the vehicle safer while providing convenience can help you have a smoother, better experience while transporting it to and from the track.
