Lowered cars are works of art—race-prepped drag cars, track-day weapons, supercars, stance builds, widebody show cars, classic restomods with deep splitters. They’re stunning… and they sit low. If your vehicle has less than 4 inches of ground clearance, the safest, smartest way to move it is enclosed transport with low-angle loading (or a hydraulic liftgate). At The Best Auto Shipping, this is our specialty.

Why Enclosed (Not Open) for Low-Clearance Cars

• Ramp angle & breakover protection: Standard open carriers have steeper ramps that can scrape lips, splitters, diffusers, oil pans, or exhausts. Enclosed haulers use extra-long low-angle ramps or liftgates designed for low cars.
• Protection from the elements: Your paint, carbon, and aero stay shielded from weather, road debris, and prying eyes.
• Precision loading gear: Wheel nets/soft straps (no frame hooks), skid boards, edge guards, and air-ride trailers minimize stress and vibration.
• Top-tier operators: We match you with carriers experienced in lowered, exotic, and race vehicles.

What Kinds of Cars Typically Need Enclosed

• Drag and drift cars, time-attack/track cars
• Supercars and exotics (Ferrari, Lambo, McLaren, Porsche GT, etc.)
• Stance builds, bagged/static cars, widebody kits
• Show cars with splitters, diffusers, lips, carbon fiber aero
• Classic/collector cars with low pans or fragile trim

How to Get Your Low Car Ready (Quick Checklist)

1. Measure clearance: From ground to the lowest point (often the splitter, exhaust, or oil pan). If under 4″, tell us so we reserve a liftgate/low-angle setup.
2. Note aero & ride height: Let us know about lips, side skirts, diffusers, canards, or air suspension (and your preferred transport ride height).
3. Consider removing bolt-on lips/splitters: If easily removable, taking them off can add extra safety.
4. Photos help: Send a couple of profile and front-angle shots so the driver plans the perfect approach.
5. Non-running? No problem—enclosed carriers can winch cars carefully into place.

Our Low-Clearance Process

• Carrier selection: Enclosed only, with liftgate or extra-long ramps and air-ride suspension.
• Load-in: Use of race ramps/skid boards to reduce approach angle; wheel nets/soft straps around the tires (no metal on metal).
• Condition report: We do a full walk-around, document, and secure before departure.

FAQs

Can you ship a bagged/air-suspension car?
Yes. Set it to your recommended transport height; we’ll coordinate with you at pickup.

What if the car doesn’t start?
We can winch it safely into an enclosed trailer—just let us know in advance.

Is enclosed more expensive than open?
Yes, enclosed is a premium service for protection and specialized loading. We’ll still work to get you the best rate and timeline.
