SHIFTR: The Best Car Trailer for Restorers & Enthusiasts
If you have a collector car, such as a high-quality E-Type or a restored Charger, you likely own an enclosed car trailer. If not, you probably want one.
But here’s the truth:
Enclosed car trailers are great for long trips. However, they are not always best for daily runs between shops. They also may not be ideal for weekend missions to find your next barn find.
That’s where SHIFTR lowering trailer comes in.
It’s not replacing your enclosed car hauler, it’s the car trailer you’ll actually use more often.
Why Collectors Need a Smarter, More Flexible Option
Enclosed trailers are excellent for protection, but they come with trade-offs:
- Bulky and heavy to tow and manoeuvre
- Tight to load into, especially with wide or low cars
- Time-consuming to prep for a quick shop run
- Overkill for moves between a painter, tuner, or trimmer
- Not always ideal for solo operation or quick jobs
The SHIFTR car hauler trailer fills that gap, offering collector-grade safety and control, without the bulk.
SHIFTR Is the Collector’s Utility Trailer, Without Compromise
SHIFTR’s remote-controlled hydraulic deck lowers the trailer to the ground at a gentle 4-degree angle. This design allows even the lowest classic or custom cars to load safely and without stress.
Ideal for:
- Quick hauls to local restoration shops
- Moving between detailers, wheel specialists, or upholsterers
- Returning freshly painted shells or rollers
- Weekend pickup of a project car from another state
- Safely loading customer vehicles or resale pieces
What Makes SHIFTR Collector-Approved
- True 83" wide deck fits widebody builds, American muscle, and vintage race cars

- Over-the-tire tie-downs = protect paint, trim, and suspension
