Haulmark Industries introduced the Pro Line series of transporters for professional and serious amateur motor sport competitors. Haulmark designed the race trailers to carry all of the tools, tires and machine parts a race team needs, as well as giving the driver and mechanics the space necessary to work on vehicles.
Haulmark motorcoaches are purchased by a wide variety of people. Many are auto-racing competitors, classic and show car enthusiasts and participants in extreme sprouts, including snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATV's and sand buggy's. Some are more traditional RV enthusiasts who want to pull larger cars, a trailer or a full-sized fifth wheel. Others need mobile space – dog show competitors, large displays traveling from race to race or show to show, even mobile medical units.
The motorcoach is used more than just for pulling a trailer filled with equipment. It can also serve as a home base for the driver’s family. Haulmark can outfit the coaches with all the amenities of a recreational vehicle or modify the interior to meet a specific driver’s needs. In addition, the owner can decal and paint the coach and trailer to display a unified appearance.
You can outfit your Pro Line trailer to meet your personal racing needs. Haulmark offers C-Tech cabinet modules that include overheads, closets, drawers and workbenches. Haulmark offers a variety of lifts allowing you to carry the number of cars you need.
The car racing industry, which encompasses a wide variety of vehicle and race types, is a multi-billion dollar a year and growing concern. More than 451,000 people compete each year in auto races at more than 1,300 tracks across the U.S.
The racing trailer industry is a subcategory of the cargo trailer industry. The cargo trailer industry represents about $1 billion in annual sales. Enclosed cargo trailers comprise a market of 226,000 units and open flatbed trailers, 276,000 units.
The National Association of Trailer Manufacturers was founded in 1987. The association represents builders who produce trailers weighing less than 26,000 pounds. The association represents the interests of trailer manufacturers to the public and the government. It also compiles trailer-manufacturing standards and encourages manufacturers to abide by its "Guidelines for Recommended Minimum Manufacturing Practices."
No. NATM reports having about 350 members who produce about 70 percent of the trailers on the road. There are no precise figures on the number of trailer manufacturers in the U.S.
Most manufacturers sell product through trailer dealerships and not directly to the public. Consult the Yellow Pages under "trailers." Trailer manufacturers and extensive product information are available on the Internet. Your better trailer companies will have a Web site featuring a “trailer finder” and a product list.
