Move Vehicles Safely Over Any Distance

Rowell Trailer Sales provides car haulers for secure vehicle transport in Hazlehurst, Georgia and throughout South Georgia.

You need a trailer that keeps a vehicle centered and stable when you tow it across town or across the state. Rowell Trailer Sales in Hazlehurst supplies car haulers used by mechanics, dealers, and individual owners who move cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles regularly. These trailers include multiple tie-down loops welded into the frame so you can anchor each corner of the vehicle independently and adjust tension without guessing.


Car haulers distribute weight low and forward to reduce sway during highway driving. The deck height stays close to the ground, which makes loading easier and lowers the center of gravity once the vehicle is secured. Rowell Trailer Sales stocks models with dovetail ramps that fold up flush against the deck when not in use, so you do not need to remove or store separate ramp sections between trips. Customers in Hazlehurst use these trailers for auction pickups, restoration projects, and dealer inventory transfers across South Georgia.

How Car Haulers Keep Vehicles Secure During Transport

A car hauler uses a wider deck and reinforced axles to support the concentrated weight of a vehicle without flexing. When you load a car in Hazlehurst, Douglas, Waycross or a surrounding area, you drive it onto the deck and position the wheels between guide rails or over specific tie-down points. The ramps include traction ridges that prevent tires from slipping in wet conditions, and the deck itself often features a non-skid surface that holds the vehicle in place even before you attach straps.


After you strap the vehicle down at all four corners and begin towing, the hauler's suspension absorbs road bumps without transferring excessive motion to the vehicle. You will notice that the trailer tracks smoothly behind your tow vehicle and does not pull to one side when you brake or change lanes. The balanced load distribution also reduces wear on your tow vehicle's transmission and brakes compared to towing with an improperly loaded trailer.


Rowell Trailer Sales can help you select a hauler rated for your vehicle's weight and wheelbase. Most car haulers include safety chains, a breakaway brake system, and LED lighting that meets Georgia road regulations. These trailers do not typically include winches as standard equipment, so if you plan to load non-running vehicles, ask about compatible winch mounts and anchor points during your visit.

Concerns customers raise before hauling vehicles

People often ask about weight ratings, ramp angles, and tie-down techniques before they haul a vehicle for the first time or upgrade to a heavier-duty trailer.

What tie-down method works best for securing a vehicle?
You should use four ratchet straps rated for at least thirty-three hundred pounds each, attached to the vehicle's frame or designated tie-down points. Cross the straps slightly to resist side-to-side movement during turns.
How do I know if my tow vehicle can handle a loaded car hauler?
You add the trailer's empty weight to the weight of the vehicle you plan to haul, then compare that total to your tow vehicle's rated towing capacity. Rowell Trailer Sales can help you calculate this before you purchase a hauler in Hazlehurst.
Why do some car haulers have a dovetail design?
A dovetail slopes the rear of the deck downward so the ramps form a gentler angle when deployed. This design reduces the risk of scraping low-clearance vehicles when loading and unloading.
What should I check before each trip?
You should inspect tire pressure on both the trailer and the loaded vehicle, test the brake lights and turn signals, and confirm that all tie-down straps are tensioned evenly. Check the coupler lock and safety chains before leaving the lot.
When do I need a car hauler with brakes?
You need trailer brakes when the combined weight of the hauler and vehicle exceeds three thousand pounds or when Georgia law requires them based on your towing setup. Brakes improve stopping distance and reduce strain on your tow vehicle.

Rowell Trailer Sales stocks car haulers in configurations that match both short-distance moves and long highway trips, so you can select one that fits the vehicles you transport most often. Learn more about available models in Hazlehurst by reaching out today.
