SHIFTR Car Trailers: Built for Track Day & Weekend Racers

Early mornings. Tight paddocks. Low cars. Heavy gear.

If you’re into motorsport, you already know loading and unloading your car is often the most stressful part of the weekend.

Whether you’re heading to an HPDE, autocross, drift event, or test day, you need a race car trailer that matches your focus.

You need a trailer that won’t scrape your splitter, require extra hands to load, or waste time before the first session.

That’s exactly why SHIFTR hydraulic car trailers were built.

The Track Day Loading Problem, Solved

Ask any driver how they load their car and you’ll hear about:

  • Stacked timber blocks
  • Makeshift ramp extensions
  • Spotters shouting over exhaust noise
  • Splitters that didn’t survive
  • Wasted time before and after sessions

Even typical single-car trailers and rollback flatbeds don’t fully solve the problem, especially for solo drivers or low cars.

Car Trailers Built for Drivers Who Do It Themselves

The SHIFTR car trailer uses a remote-controlled hydraulic system that lowers the steel deck to the ground at a gentle angle.

It’s smooth, quick, quiet, and controlled. It changes everything.

What that means for you:

  • Ground-level loading, no scraping, no ramps, no spotter
  • Solo operation, load and tie down in under 2 minutes
  • 2050 mm wide deck, ideal for widebody builds, GT cars, and race-prepped vehicles
  • Over-the-tyre tie-downs, no stress on suspension and no crawling underneath
  • Carries tools, wheels, bikes, and spares, or multiple motorcycles if needed

Whether you’re hauling a track-built E46, C8 Z06, GR86, or a street-legal MX-5, SHIFTR keeps everything simple and under control.

Tow It With Your Daily Driver or Ute

You don’t need an expensive tow rig to transport your car properly.

SHIFTR trailers are designed to be towed behind half-ton utes, SUVs, or crossovers, as long as the vehicle is properly rated with a standard Class III or IV towbar.

  • Tow with your ute or SUV
  • Park it at home, it fits in most driveways
  • No special licence required
  • Easy to insure and maintain
  • Clean, professional look at the track or on the road

It’s tough, simple, and practical, everything you need in a serious tool.

Made by Enthusiasts. Used by Pros.

SHIFTR is developed by the same team behind Futura Trailers, trusted by over 5,000 drivers worldwide, from grassroots racers to professional transporters.

We didn’t build it in a vacuum. We built it because we were tired of hauling our own cars the hard way.

Now you don’t have to.

More Driving. Less Loading. Better Weekends.

Track days are meant to be fun. Your trailer shouldn’t be the hardest part.

SHIFTR keeps your focus where it belongs: lap times, seat time, and enjoying the weekend.
