Open Car Haulers: The Practical Choice for Moving Vehicles
There is a whole category of vehicle moving that does not need a roof over it. Getting an auction buy home, running a trade to a shop, repositioning inventory between lots, helping a family member move a car across the metro. For all of that, an open deck does the job with none of the weight, cost, or storage footprint of an enclosed hauler.
What makes one good
The details that matter are unglamorous: ramps that stow easily and deploy without a fight, enough tie-down points to secure a vehicle properly rather than creatively, and axles that track straight at highway speed with a loaded car sitting on them. Ours run Dexter axles for exactly that reason.
Where it wins over enclosed
- Meaningfully lighter, so it tows easier and costs less in fuel
- Loads and unloads from any angle with nothing in the way
- Fewer components to maintain across years of use
Enclosed makes sense for a show car or a long haul. For the routine work of moving vehicles around central Ohio, open is usually the better purchase - and the money saved buys a lot of fuel.
Come look at the ramp and tie-down setup at Grove City and match it against what you actually move.
