Trailmaster Race Series 8.5 Aluminum Enclosed Cargo Trailer

Trailmaster Race Series 8.5 Aluminum Enclosed Cargo Trailer — All-Aluminum Construction for Auto Hauling and Heavy-Duty Cargo

The Trailmaster Race Series (TMR) 8.5′ Wide is an all-aluminum enclosed cargo trailer engineered for contractors, motorsports professionals, and trades operators who demand a show-quality, high-capacity hauler. Built on a robust 2″ x 6″ tube frame with a one-piece all-aluminum roof, the TMR is purpose-built for auto hauling, ATV/UTV transport, powersports, general cargo, and construction applications. The 89″ wide self-mating rear ramp door opening delivers superior structural strength while providing ample clearance for loading wide vehicles and equipment. Available in tandem axle configurations from 8.5×20 through 8.5×32, with G.V.W.R. ratings from 7,000# to 14,000#, the TMR scales to meet a wide range of payload requirements.

Technical Specifications

Model Dimensions by Size

Axle & Running Gear by Model

The TMR's bonded, screwless .030 aluminum exterior skin eliminates exposed fasteners that can corrode or loosen over time, giving it a cleaner profile and reduced long-term maintenance compared to riveted or screw-applied skin trailers. Its highly modular design supports a wide range of factory upgrade options — including Legend Deluxe Flip-Up escape doors with removable wheel wells, rear spoilers, drop skirting, cabinetry, and alternative floor finishes such as rubber coin flooring or extruded aluminum — allowing contractors and motorsports operators to configure the trailer precisely to their workflow.

Key Features & Benefits

All-Aluminum One-Piece Roof

The one-piece all-aluminum flat roof eliminates seams that are common leak points on multi-panel roofs, backed by a 25-year corrosion and deterioration warranty. For contractors storing tools and equipment or operators transporting vehicles, this provides long-term weather protection without the maintenance burden of periodic resealing.

Bonded, Screwless .030 Aluminum Exterior Skin

The exterior panels are bonded rather than mechanically fastened, producing a smooth, screwless surface that resists corrosion and road debris damage. This construction method also contributes to a cleaner, show-quality appearance that holds up over years of heavy use.

E-Z Lube Torsion (Spread) Axles with Electric Brakes

Spread torsion axles provide independent wheel suspension for a smoother ride and reduced cargo stress, while E-Z Lube hubs simplify routine bearing maintenance in the field. Dual electric brakes on both axles deliver reliable stopping power across the full G.V.W.R. range up to 14,000#.

89″ Wide Self-Mating Rear Ramp Door

The 89″ wide ramp door opening accommodates wide vehicles and large equipment while the self-mating design provides superior structural strength at the rear of the trailer. At 76″ in height, the opening also allows walk-in access for loading and securing cargo.

36″ Curbside RV Side Door with Recessed Stepwell

The full-size 36″ curbside RV door with flush lock, aluminum holdback, and recessed stepwell provides safe, convenient personnel access without requiring a separate step stool. The flush lock and aluminum holdback keep the door securely open or closed during loading operations.

LED Interior and Exterior Lighting

Two 12V rectangle LED dome lights with a wall switch provide bright interior illumination for loading and working inside the trailer in low-light conditions. Surface mount LED exterior lighting ensures the trailer meets visibility requirements during road transport.

Highly Modular Configuration

The TMR is purpose-built to support a wide range of factory upgrade options including Legend Deluxe Flip-Up escape doors with removable wheel wells, rear spoilers, drop skirting, cabinetry, rubber coin flooring, and extruded aluminum flooring. This modularity allows each buyer to configure the trailer to their specific operational and budget requirements.

Common Applications

Auto Hauling

The 89″ rear ramp door opening and 97″ interior box width provide the clearance needed to load and transport wide automobiles, making the TMR a purpose-built solution for car hauling and motorsports transport.
