Challenger Carriers . . .
  Strongest and Most Durable in the Industry 

With the increased problems loading low clearance vehicles, Challenger offers an easy solution that makes the use of wood planks and ramps obsolete.  Challenger's Right Approach option, available on Challenger's 19', 19.5' and 21' steel solid rail carriers, allows the operator to lower the rear approach angle of the bed to 6°.  After the front tires are on the rear section of the carrier, the bed can be leveled out to overcome the clearance problem on the forward section of the bed.  This process can be repeated to avoid dragging low exhaust pipes or bumpers as the rear wheels roll onto the bed.
With so much riding on your carrier, you need to be assured of a quality bed that can stand up to the everyday demands you place on it.  That's why at Challenger we design and build our carriers to be the strongest and most durable in the industry.  From transporting exotic sports cars to hauling salvage, Challenger offers a carrier for your individual application.
