Clubhouse Trailer Company
Clubhouse Trailers’ Small Trailer Solutions are a great option for a variety of programs.
Bumper pull or gooseneck trailers are perfect for smaller programs or an accessory to a semi, providing nimble capabilities in off-season events such as winter guard or small ensembles. They are great for supporting the busy marching season with additional instrument, equipment, prop, or uniform storage. These trailers offer easier maneuverability, have smaller storing requirements when not in-use, easier to pull and find drivers, and are still custom-built for your program’s needs
Each trailer is custom-built, from the ground up, specifically with marching bands in mind.
Like our semi trailers, small trailers come with a variety of interior build options. Our team is excited to help you plan your program’s new trailer!
Bumper Pull Trailers are offered up to 36′ in length, with 8′ or 9′ interior heights.
Bumper Pull Trailers can be ordered in various lengths, number of axles, and interior finishes.
Standard Features:
Gooseneck Trailers are offered up to 48′ in length, with 9′ or 10′ interior heights.
Gooseneck trailers can be ordered in various lengths, number of axles, and interior finishes.
Standard Features:
Inside and Outside, our trailers have endless features to fit your needs. Check out some of them below.
All trailers come equipped with main deck and 2nd floor LED lighting. These low voltage, high-efficiency, low-profile lights provide plenty of illumination for late night load outs.
A central lighting control panel is located near the door, and the wall-mounted power cabinet houses the deep cycle batteries, solar charge controller, smart lighting timeout, and low voltage disconnect, which shuts off lights to protect the battery when voltage drops below a safe threshold.
Additionally, we provide powerful LED flood lights to illuminate your surrounding camp. Additional exterior flood light packages are also available.
In nearly band trailers, the vertical space above front ensemble equipment is wasted. That is why our specially-designed trailers add extra interior height, so we can add a 2nd floor above the rolling equipment. Xylophones, keyboards, marimbas roll in downstairs, and marching wind instruments go be stored on the 2nd floor or in the shelving units. Our standard 2nd floor height matches the semi trailers, but we do custom heights as needed for taller equipment. The length of the 2nd floor varies based on trailer length and individual needs, but typically varies between 12 feet to 20 feet long.
6ft Shelves can house plenty of wind instruments. Tilted back in towards the wall and angled 5 degrees, these open-loop carpeted shelves hold instruments securely in place, and are durable to take abuse.
Other, customized shelving is available. Sousaphone storage, shako storage, customized drum walls, and more!
In addition to the HD rear ramp door, entry and exit through the side of the trailer can be a huge efficiency gain, reducing bottlenecks. A side person-door, or side ramp door is available in both gooseneck and bumper pull trailers. Extra wide 48″ person doors are available, as seen on Franklin’s trailer below. On bumper pull trailers, you can option a v-nose ramp door and side door together for maximum flexibility.
For programs needing uniform storage Clubhouse has a unique, numbered, slotted rack system. They can customized in terms of layout, location, and lengths (3ft, 4ft, 8ft, etc), and available as a DIY Kit!
Carefree Fiesta manual awnings are available on Gooseneck and Bumper Pull Trailers, and provide a ton of shade during the warmer contest weekends.
Available for both gooseneck and bumper pull trailers is a Polycor interior skin package. This 0.080″ aluminum composite skin provides a clean, polished look to the inside of your trailer. An upgrade from the standard Plywood walls, the ceiling is also insulated above the skin.
Battery percussionists can now store their drum carriers on our new ceiling-mounted system. Conveniently located right above the shelving units, the Drum Carrier Grid is an ideal storage solution for these vital pieces of hardware. (Currently available for semi and STS Gooseneck trailers only.)
Field percussion shelving, or “drum walls”, are customized to every program’s needs and numbers. These units are measured and constructed for cased or uncased battery, providing a cubby for each individual drum.
Simple, and unobtrusive, the all-aluminum Ship’s Ladder makes it easy to climb into the nose of a gooseneck, or onto a second floor of your bumper pull or gooseneck trailer. They mount securely to the wall, and are also available as a DIY Kit!
No trailer is complete without a full-color vinyl wrap. Our graphic designers work hand-in-hand with the band directors, district, or boosters to bring your vision to life, and let you roll through town with the largest community showpiece supporting your band. We only use 3M ControlTac vinyl, with an industry leading warranty against color-fade.
Often imitated, never duplicated! Check out our trailer gallery to see the more than 300 custom trailer design’s we’ve created over the last 15 years.
The trailer base is manufactured in Georgia, to Clubhouse specifications.
These trailers are not “spec” trailers. They are custom built for each project. Our trailers are built with a second floor in mind. That means load carrying-walls, and e-track placement at the correct heights.
Ordering a custom trailer means we have ultimate flexibility in creating a solution that works for your band now, and for years to come.
Every feature needs to feel like it belongs. And every feature needs to increase Safety or Efficiency. Every trailer ramp comes standard with low profile custom aluminum gap flaps and approach plates. These are meant to make it easier to roll equipment into the trailer, without the wheels getting stuck on the lip or edge of the ramp.
We have a featured trailers section that highlights some of our previous band trailer builds. See them here.
Editor Note: Our Gooseneck and Bumper Pull Trailers are considered part of our “Small Trailer Solutions” line. While they themselves are not necessarily small, they are small(er) than our Flagship Semi Trailers. About 20% of the trailers we build today are Bumper Pull and Gooseneck Trailers.
