The Best Aluminum Motorcycle Trailers for Summer

Written by ALCOM Trailers | Jun 24, 2025 1:00:00 PM

Summer hits fast, and suddenly, it's here. If you're planning to spend some time on the open road this summer, cruising on your motorcycle through your own neighborhood or a state far away, you might be looking for a motorcycle trailer. Whether you're bringing a fleet of dirtbikes on a motocross adventure or towing a cruiser to your summer place, ALCOM builds all-aluminum motorcycle trailers you'll love. 

Open Motorcycle Trailers

Keep things simple with a purpose-built bike hauler that's small and light enough to tow behind your SUV. An open motorcycle trailer with extruded aluminum decking is a great choice. Available in 5'x8' or 6.5'x10', our open motorcycle trailers come standard with surface-mounted aluminum wheel chocks and perimeter track for easy-install accessories. A removable 18" stone guard deflects road debris from your bike, and heavy-duty aluminum pull-out ramps make easy loading and unloading. 

If you already have an ALCOM open aluminum trailer, like a utility trailer, car hauler or snowmobile trailer, as long as it's rated to support the weight of your motorcycle, you can add wheel chocks or your favorite bike tie-downs to the trailer deck for an easy conversion. One of our favorite things about our aluminum utility trailers is how versatile they can be with the right combination of our built-in features and your DIY additions to meet your hauling needs.  

Enclosed Motorcycle Trailers 

If your family is chasing motocross events this summer, or taking a group adventure with dirtbikes, you might need space for multiple bikes and other gear. In that case, an enclosed aluminum motorcycle trailer might be your best buy. They're 7' wide and available in 12' or 14' length, giving you plenty of room for bikes and gear. If you need more space than that, consider learning more about our enclosed car hauler lineup. You can add motorcycle-friendly tie-downs like wheel chocks when you order your trailer. Plus, if you're hauling with a team, choose your aluminum side panel color(s) to complement your gear.

Standard features in an ALCOM enclosed moto trailer include:

  • Spring assisted rear ramp with starter flap;
  •  Wall-mounted elevated spare tire mount inside the trailer; 
  • Three (3) interior LED dome lights with a wall switch; 
  • Tandem motorcycle wheel chocks and eight (8) surface-mounted D-rings to secure your bikes;
  • A 32" x 58" side access door with a paddle handle for easy trailer access;
  • White luan-backed vinyl walls;
  • 3/4" water-resistant floor decking. 

Don't forget to scope out the enclosed trailer upgrade menu for additional tie-downs, flooring upgrades, wall track, and more to customize your enclosed aluminum motorcycle trailer. 

Premium Motorcycle Trailers

Ready to splurge on a decked-out motorcycle trailer? Check out the Pinnacle Series. It's built for motorcycles and side-by-sides, with all the great standard features of a standard enclosed moto trailer, plus more. A lot more. First, they're a little bigger, starting at 14' and available in 16' as well, with a 7.5'-wide cargo box. A flat front with cast corners and a 24" stone guard give the trailer a premium look, and bonded, screwless side panels keep things smooth. The list of standard Pinnacle Series features includes:

Advantages of Aluminum

What's the big deal about aluminum, anyway? There are lots of trailers out there -- why bother going for an ALCOM all-aluminum hauler over the used steel unit your neighbor has parked in their driveway?  

For starters, your neighbor doesn't offer a warranty, and ALCOM does. We stand behind our work, and if something goes wrong with your trailer, we'll make it right. Plus, if you need a trailer that meets specific requirements -- like pre-installed wheel chocks, a certain payload, or if you just really wanted safety orange side panels -- ordering a new trailer is the only way to get exactly what you want.  

Don't buy a steel trailer, anyway, if you're moving motorbikes and UTVs. Steel will eventually rust, and even one spot of rust can lead to a deteriorated trailer. Choose corrosion-resistant aluminum instead and get more miles of hauling for your investment.

Did we mention this rust-proof material is also lighter than steel? It's about one-third the weight with a better strength-to-weight ratio, so an aluminum trailer will be significantly lighter than a steel trailer of the same size. This is great news if you don't have a full-size truck but need to tow a trailer. More tow vehicles can safely hitch on an aluminum trailer without maxing out their vehicle's tow capacity. Even if you're hauling with a full-size truck, a lighter trailer means less wear and tear on your vehicle.
