3-Car Trailers

Haul Three. Make Every Trip Count.

For professional vehicle transporters, a 3-car trailer offers an ideal balance between hauling capacity and overall trailer size. Instead of moving one or two vehicles at a time, a 3-car car hauler allows operators to transport more vehicles per trip while maintaining a practical configuration for loading, towing, and everyday transportation. Buckeye’s Max Light 48′ Low Profile, Max Light 48′ LP 12K Single, Max Light 48′ Wedge, and Max Light 50′ Low Profile are designed for operators who want to maximize each trip without moving into a larger 4-car trailer.

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 Haul Three Vehicles Per Load

A 3-car hauler trailer gives professional auto transporters the ability to move three vehicles on one trailer, creating more hauling capacity per trip. For operators paid by the load or vehicle, increasing the number of vehicles transported can help create more efficient routes and more opportunities for revenue.

02 Purpose-Built for Auto Transport

Buckeye’s Max Light 48′ and 50′ configurations are designed specifically around vehicle transportation, with long, open decks and configurations intended to accommodate multiple vehicles. From low-profile models to the Max Light Wedge, haulers can choose a configuration that fits their specific transportation operation.

03 Lightweight Max Light Construction

The Max Light lineup is designed around lightweight construction for professional car haulers who need to balance trailer weight with available hauling capacity. A lighter trailer can provide greater flexibility for operators managing vehicle weights, towing requirements, and payload while still needing a purpose-built 3-car car hauler.

04 Multiple Configurations

Buckeye offers multiple 3-car configurations, including the Max Light 48′ Low Profile, Max Light 48′ LP 12K Single, Max Light 48′ Wedge, and Max Light 50′ Low Profile.

When transporting vehicles is your business, your equipment needs to be ready for repeated loading, unloading, and highway miles. Buckeye builds its car haulers around professional transportation applications, giving auto transporters a dedicated platform for moving multiple vehicles from dealerships, auctions, customers, and other locations.

06 American-Made Craftsmanship
