SHIFTR: The Perfect Trailer for Pawn Shops & Resellers

If you run a pawn shop, resale yard, or secondhand equipment business, you know the challenge:

Getting big, bulky, or valuable items to and from your store, without breaking your back or your bank.

Towing companies are expensive. Ramps are risky. And strapping down an ATV or ride-on mower in a box trailer isn’t anyone’s idea of safe.

SHIFTR solves all of it.

It’s the ultimate utility trailer for moving everything from motorcycles and quads to light vehicles and gear, safely, solo, and on your schedule.

Pawn Shops Move More Than Just Jewelry

Let’s be real: today’s pawn shops move serious gear:

  • ATVs, dirt bikes, and powersports
  • Cars and project vehicles
  • Lawnmowers and zero-turns
  • Gym equipment
  • Scooters, e-bikes, and motorcycles
  • Small trailers, toolboxes, even appliances

You’re buying, selling, picking up, or dropping off gear every day.

And every time you rent a trailer, call a tow truck, or use a sketchy ramp setup, you’re adding risk and cutting into your margin.

Why SHIFTR is the Pawn Shop’s Secret Weapon

SHIFTR is a steel-framed car trailer with a remote-controlled hydraulic deck that drops flat to the ground at a 4-degree angle.

With its durable design, this trailer can also function as a dependable equipment trailer.

That means you can load anything, safely and easily.

Key features that matter for resale businesses:

  • Ground-level loading = no ramps, no risk of damage or injury
  • Over-the-tire tie-downs = fast, secure, and idiot-proof
  • 83" wide deck fits motorcycles, golf carts, small cars, and more
  • Solo operation = no crew needed for pickups or deliveries
  • Tows behind your existing truck or SUV, no special license required
  • Built tough to handle commercial use and heavy loads

Need to grab a vehicle from an estate sale?

Deliver an ATV to a customer?

Or haul gear back from an auction?

The SHIFTR gets it done.

Add Pickup & Delivery to Your Business, Without Adding Overhead

Offering pickup or delivery services used to mean hiring a driver or buying a tow truck. Not anymore.

With SHIFTR, you can:

  • Offer pickup services for large items (and charge for it)
  • Add delivery options that help close deals
  • Recover items from clients who stop paying, safely and legally
  • Attend auctions and bring back multiple resale units in one trip
  • And because SHIFTR is so easy to use, you or your staff can do it solo.

Low Cost. Long Life. Fast Payback.

At just $11,995, the SHIFTR car hauler trailer is affordable, and can easily pay for itself within a few months of use if you’re regularly moving or delivering items.
