Why SHIFTR Belongs on Your Trailer Lot

If you're a trailer dealer that sells trailers to contractors, haulers, weekend warriors, and working professionals, chances are you’ve had customers ask:

“Got anything better than a ramp trailer, but without spending Futura money?”

Now you do.

SHIFTR is the premium car transporter without the premium price.

It’s the car hauler trailer that gives buyers the sleek look and smart loading features they want, with the durability and price point that actually moves units.

You Already Know Futura. Now Meet Its Practical Counterpart.

Futura has changed the game in premium car trailers, but it’s not for every customer.

The SHIFTR comes from the same innovation-driven background, but it’s designed for buyers who want performance without the prestige markup:

  • Contractors who transport vehicles
  • Towing businesses looking for a second trailer
  • Shops that move customer cars around town
  • Enthusiasts who want to protect their vehicle, not their ego
  • Budget-sensitive buyers who still want smart features and modern design

SHIFTR delivers the same ground-level loading experience, with a steel construction and simple hydraulic system: ideal for real-world use, not just showroom bragging rights.

What Makes SHIFTR a Standout on Your Lot

  1. Remote-controlled lowering deck = ground-level loading, no ramps
  2. No scraping, no drama, no winch dancing
  3. 83" wide steel deck fits everything from sedans to track cars
  4. Over-the-tire tie-down system = faster, safer, simpler
  5. Tows behind a ½-ton pickup, no CDL or special gear needed
  6. Looks premium, priced practical, starts at $11,995

It fills the gap between low-cost utility trailers and high-end, high-dollar setups.

Perfect for the Buyers You Already Serve

If your trailer dealership caters to:

  • Vehicle transporters
  • Auto repair shops
  • Mobile service businesses
  • Weekend racers or project car owners
  • Tow operators who need a backup unit
  • Motorcycle and ATV haulers

...then SHIFTR is the trailer they didn’t know they were missing.

It’s a premium experience, but in their price range.

Why It Sells Itself (and Still Delivers Margin)

  1. The loading demo sells the trailer: lower the deck, drive the car on, done
  2. It outclasses everything else on the lot visually: clean lines, pro finish
  3. The price point is right: high value without sticker shock
  4. Low maintenance = fewer service headaches post-sale
  5. Spare parts available online through the SHIFTR Genuine Spares store
  6. Your team doesn’t need to “sell” it, they just need to show it in action.

Stock a Smarter Car Hauler

Ramp trailers are everywhere. So are buyers tired of them.

With SHIFTR on your lot, you offer something truly different:

  • No wood
  • No sketchy angles
  • No DIY upgrades
  • No “almost good enough”

Just a modern, efficient, steel-built trailer that makes moving vehicles safer, easier, and more professional.
