Carry-On 7 x 18 Open Car Trailer – Slide Out Ramps

The Carry-On 7 x 18 Open Car Trailer – 7K GVWR is a versatile and durable transport solution designed for hauling vehicles, equipment, and bulk materials across varied terrain. It features a 7-foot wide by 18-foot long pressure-treated wood deck, supported by a fully welded steel frame with a black powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. The trailer is equipped with dual 3,500 lb leaf spring axles, EZ-lube hubs, and electric brakes for reliable performance and controlled stopping. Its slide-out steel loading ramps are housed beneath the rear deck and deploy smoothly for loading low-clearance vehicles. A 2 5/16-inch coupler, top-wind tongue jack, and breakaway safety system ensure secure towing. Additional features include white mod wheels with radial tires, diamond plate fenders with integrated steps, and stake pockets and D-rings for flexible tie-down configurations. The open design and reinforced side rails make it ideal for mechanics, auto dealers, and logistics operators needing a dependable, mid-sized hauler.

To maintain peak performance and extend the trailer’s lifespan, a disciplined maintenance routine is essential. Begin by inspecting the wood deck monthly for signs of rot, warping, or loose boards—especially after exposure to rain or heavy loads. Apply wood sealant annually to preserve the deck’s integrity. Grease the wheel bearings every 5,000 km or after long-distance trips to prevent overheating and premature wear. Before each haul, check tire pressure, tread depth, and brake responsiveness, and ensure the breakaway cable and safety chains are properly secured. Lubricate the ramp slides, locking pins, coupler latch, and jack stand monthly to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation. After hauling in dusty or muddy conditions, wash the undercarriage, fenders, and ramp channels thoroughly to remove debris and prevent corrosion. Touch up any chipped paint promptly to maintain rust resistance. For long-term storage, park the trailer on level ground, elevate the tongue to prevent water pooling, and cover it with a UV-resistant tarp to protect against sun damage and moisture buildup.
