This trailer-loading-trailer means we really have run out of useful things to invent.

Strange how this trailer is so over the top, but would be useless for me. I could never clear that big ramp. It might be good for high riding show cars and for people who are uncomfortable driving into a trailer, but for most track cars, it would be a ridiculous waste of money and weight.

That's almost as good as an enclosed trailer you can pull an open trailer into, then load the whole thing onto a flatbed semi, yeah, that'd be perfect.

I'm with Joe, drive it in and if broken, go round up some folks to push. There's always folks glad to lend a hand in the paddock. I also have an old HF winch in case I'm by myself and while it's slow, it will get the job done. Once in the trailer, I don't have enough room to open the door, so it's out the window for me.

My race car has a very high first gear and a race clutch. I always use the winch to load it into my enclosed trailer. Front splitter clearance is an issue so loading at winch speed works out better anyway.
My trailer has a Superwinch S5000 bolted to a steel plate through the floor that is welded to the steel chassis of the trailer.

Stupid basic questions for those with enclosed trailer. I'm looking at buying an enclosed trailer and have some basic questions.
Searched and read the tie down threads but haven't seen anything on the following.
How do you load your car, drive it in/out or winch it in/out or other?
If you drive your car in how do you get out? Is there enough room in a 8ft wide trailer to open the door?
What is the minimal length that would hold a 911? 16ft, 18ft,...
Thanks,

I'm familiar with the KY brand of sliding products, but not KC.
Winch with remote is the only way to go. What happens if your car is disabled? I guess you can get a bunch of people to help you push it.

Winch is way to go.... Flat tire, engine trouble, etc (and like said a race clutch mistake and you are through the front wall of the trailer) and you have no issues loading
