Storing And Transporting A Performance Vehicle

There are some people who own a number of vehicles. If are one of them, you must be over cautious while transporting them.

If you have purchased a performance vehicle like Lamborghini, Ferrari or Pagani, it is important to spend the time and effort to store and transport it properly. When you buy such racing cars they are generally kept unused for a longer period. Therefore, you need to care for the engine and maintain it properly to prevent corrosion. This is a crucial step, especially in the changing season. Thus, it makes sense to transport the car with a flat bed trailer.

Follow these simple steps to maintain your car’s engine so that it continues to perform above par. If you have a craze for buying various performance vehicles or just want to sell and buy different cars, it is smart to choose a five car trailer that are flat beds, for transporting them. The reason is, loading and unloading of your cars in and out from the hauler becomes easier.

Common Mistakes

Most of the people drive their cars into the trailers and prefer exiting the vehicle by crawling out and squeezing their body alongside the car to finally escape out of the trailer’s back door. This can work sometimes, but it’s also an easy way to damage the vehicle or injure yourself.

The best way to load the car onto a trailer is with the help of a winch. A winch allows you to remain outside the vehicle during the loading process.
Winching the car

Set up a ramp:
Select a ramp that is sure to support the vehicle’s weight and align it at proper angle so that the car’s front bumper won’t get damaged.

Prepare vehicle:
Align the car properly with the ramp. Keep the gear of the car in neutral position and make sure the parking brake is off. Also, (if the car model allows you) fold in the side view mirrors and reduce the height of antennas (if any) by folding them down or unscrewing the attachments.

Attach winch:
Attach the winch to your vehicle’s tow hooks. However, if a car doesn’t have towing facility, there should be an alternative. Most of the modern cars come equipped with a frame hook.

Park and tie down car:
Put the car’s wheel on the trailer’s ramp and put the parking brake on. Secure the car with tying knots and clamps.

If you really do care for the cars you purchase, it is recommended to transport them through a flat bed trailer.
