Does anyone know the best way to find something like this? Are there companies that make these or is it cheaper to buy a trailer and build your own? If anyone has any experience in this department, please share.

I woudl think that it woudl be pretty easy to rig this yourself.
Medium sized covered trailer, a few 2x4’s and 12+ rubber coated hooks. hang the bikes by alternating front/rear wheel and make sure the trailer is high/wide enough to leave an aisle to walk.
two bikes hanging in this way take up ~ 6’Hx3’Wx4’D as a maximum dimension.
Good luck
You are probably thinking along the same lines as me. I’m working on hauling a bunch of bikes from New England to IMFL for my tri team since I’m not racing. I was thinking about renting an enclosed Uhaul trailer and packing the bikes with bubble wrap and then putting a cardboard slip in between each one. Has anyone ever done anything similar?
I would think an enclosed trailer would be the way to go. I just so happen to be selling my 6x12 :0

Being that they are going to be race bikes, you probably do not want to hang them esp. with deep carbon rims. Get a utility trailer and instal fork mounts in it to haul the bikes. You can get just a regular one or get a fully enclosed to be able to lock it. All depend on how much money you want to send. I have personally carried 10 mountain bikes in the back of our Honda Ridgeline, could easily fit 12. Although I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone.
I have an enclosed cargo trailer that I’ve put racks down one side. I screwed fork mounts to 4’ x 6’ sheets of plywood and then screwed them to one side of the trailer. They are alternating facing up then down so I get 4 bikes on a 4’ wide sheet.So the fork mount holds the fork and then I have short wood rails that go beside the rear wheel and have toe straps that cinch the wheel and hold the bike in place whether it’s hanging fork up or down. I’ve got a 14’ trailer and have it set up for 12 bikes down one side so it leaves lots of room for other gear or more bikes. With a 7’ wide trailer(which mine is) you could probably put bikes racked down both sides but it wouldn’t leave a lot of room for other stuff.
If you can’t quite picture it and want some photos, let me know.
