Why SHIFTR is a Smart Add-On for Equipment Rental Businesses

If you run an equipment or tool rental business, or even just have a roadside storefront in a high-traffic area, you may be sitting on an untapped opportunity.

What if you could rent out a trailer that’s safe, easy to use, and in growing demand across your region?

Meet the SHIFTR car trailer: the smart, professional-grade trailer designed for solo vehicle transport.

It’s not just for internal use. It’s also the perfect car hauler trailer for renting to the public.

There’s Growing Demand for Safe, DIY Vehicle Transport

Every day, customers are looking to:

1. Pick up a project car
2. Deliver a freshly purchased vehicle
3. Tow a track car to an event
4. Transport a motorcycle or ATV
5. Move a non-runner between shops or garages
6. Relocate a vehicle for detailing, wrap, repair, or resale
7. And they don’t want to pay $150+ for a tow truck.

They want to do it themselves, safely and affordably.

Most of them opt for a U-Haul trailer rental or call around. But the trailers available are often old, clunky, steep to load, or difficult for solo operation.

That’s where you come in, with the SHIFTR. A trailer built from the ground up, specifically for car hauling.

Why SHIFTR is Perfect for Trailer Rental Businesses

The SHIFTR isn’t just user-friendly.

It’s renter-friendly:

1. Ground-level loading = no ramps, no guesswork
2. Over-the-tire tie-downs = fast and safe for non-experts
3. Remote-controlled deck = impressive, intuitive operation
4. 83" wide deck fits cars, motorcycles, ATVs, and light equipment
5. Tows behind a standard pickup or SUV, no CDL required
6. Steel-framed durability built for repeated daily use
7. Loading & unloading a car is a one person job

Most customers will have the right vehicle to tow it, or you can offer a tow vehicle option for an additional fee.

Who Should Consider Renting Out SHIFTR?

This opportunity fits a wide range of businesses:

• Tool and equipment rental centers
• Automotive service shops or tire stores
• Motorcycle dealerships
• Car wash, detailing, or wrap shops
• Used car lots or brokers
• Small-town gas stations or general stores with road frontage
• Motorsport and powersports retailers
• Storage facilities near race tracks or event centers

If you already have customer traffic and space to park a trailer, you could be generating passive rental revenue with very little overhead.

Let It Pay for Itself, and Then Some

With SHIFTR starting at just $11,995, a trailer rented at $99-$149 per day could pay for itself in 3-6 months, depending on your location and demand.

After that, it’s nearly pure profit, backed by a rugged product designed to withstand real-world use.

The SHIFTR’s visual appeal, simplicity, and safety features make it easy to rent, easy to insure, and easy to train staff on.

Add Value Without Adding Headaches

1. No engine to maintain
2. No complex drivetrain
3. No complicated safety checks
4. Minimal maintenance requirements
5. Built to look sharp and stay reliable

Offer it on its own or bundle it with other rentals (like towing accessories, straps, hitches, or even car transport packages).
