Car Haulers for Fleet Vehicle Transport

Agencies move vehicles more often than people expect. A motor pool relocates pool cars, a shop hauls in a vehicle that will not run, a department transports a UTV to a job site, or surplus vehicles head to auction. A car hauler makes all of that straightforward and safe. This page covers how government car haulers fit a public-sector fleet and what to consider before requesting pricing.

Car Haulers for Public-Sector Fleets

A car hauler is an open flatbed trailer built to transport vehicles, with a flat deck, ramps, and tie-down points. For agencies, it is the practical answer to a recurring need: moving a vehicle that should not, or cannot, be driven to its destination. Shops, motor pools, fleet services, and departments that run UTVs all find steady use for one.

Common Government Car Hauler Applications

• Relocating fleet and pool vehicles between facilities
• Transporting non-running or out-of-service vehicles to the shop
• Moving surplus vehicles to auction or storage
• Hauling UTVs, side-by-sides, and wheeled equipment
• Supporting motor pools, fleet services, and maintenance shops

What Government Buyers Should Consider

The right car hauler starts with the vehicles you move. A few decisions drive the spec:

• GVWR and payload. Sized to the heaviest vehicle plus a margin. See the GVWR guide.
• Deck length and width. Long and wide enough for your largest vehicle with room to secure it.
• Ramps. Length and angle for safe, easy loading, including low vehicles.
• Tie-downs and winch. A solid tie-down system, and a winch mount if you move non-running vehicles.
• Brakes and axles. Rated for the load. See the brakes guide.
