2-Car Trailers

Haul Two Vehicles. Build More Into Every Load.

For professional vehicle transporters, a 2-car trailer provides a practical balance between hauling capacity, trailer size, and towing flexibility. Instead of making separate trips for individual vehicles, a 2-car hauler allows operators to transport two vehicles on one trailer, making it an efficient option for car hauling businesses, dealerships, auctions, hotshot operators, and independent auto transporters. Buckeye’s Max Light 40′ Gooseneck is specifically designed as a commercial two-car hauler and is marketed as one of the lightest trailers in its class.

WHY BUCKEYE

Why Haulers Choose Buckeye Trailers

A lot of trailer manufacturers will tell you they build a quality product. Here’s what actually sets Buckeye apart.

01 Built to Haul Two Cars

The Max Light 40′ Gooseneck is purpose-built as a 2-car gooseneck trailer, giving professional auto transporters the ability to move two vehicles on a single trailer. For operators building a car hauling business or expanding their existing operation, that additional capacity can provide more flexibility when planning loads.

02 4,800-Lb Empty Weight

At an advertised 4,800-lb empty weight, the Max Light 40′ Gooseneck is designed around lightweight vehicle transport. The reduced trailer weight helps preserve available payload while providing the capacity needed for two-vehicle hauling applications.

03 12,000–17,500-Lb GVWR Options

The Max Light 40′ Gooseneck is listed with 12,000–17,500 lb GVWR options and 7,000–12,500 lb payload, allowing operators to select a configuration suited to their towing setup and hauling requirements. Always match the trailer’s rated capacity to the actual vehicle weights and applicable regulations.

04 Heavy-Duty Running Gear

The Max Light 40′ combines its lightweight design with heavy-duty components, including 7K Dexter axles, heavy-duty slipper spring suspension, a 48″” axle spread, and electric brakes. The result is a purpose-built platform designed for repeated vehicle-hauling work.

05 Designed for Efficient Vehicle Loading

Vehicle transport requires more than deck space. The Max Light 40′ features a heavy-duty engineered grate floor designed for a 3-point soft-tie system and 9′ aluminum ramps rated for 10,000 lbs, providing practical loading and securement features for professional car haulers.

06 Built for the Hotshot Industry

Buckeye specifically markets the Max Light 40′ toward the commercial car-hauling and hotshot industries. Its gooseneck configuration, lightweight construction, two-car capacity, and available GVWR options make it a purpose-built choice for operators looking to put a professional car hauler to work.
