Air-tow Trailers’ unique design offers efficient and safe solutions in industries you might not expect. Here are 10 surprising industries that utilize Air-tow Trailers:

1. Safe and Lock

 

Air-tow Trailers are perfect for moving heavy items like safes. Air-tow’s Ground-Level Loading technology facilitates safer loading and unloading, reducing risks associated with heavy lifting.  In Ground-Level Loading, the deck of the Air-tow trailer lowers flush to the ground, enabling safes to be easily and safely loaded on the trailer with a dolly cart. Other trailer alternatives use ramps or tilt beds, which can be dangerous. With a towing capacity of up to 14,000 lbs., the Air-tow Trailer is the perfect solution for large, heavy items. The enclosed trailer line offers enhanced security and weather protection for valuable items such as safes. 

2. Disaster Relief

During disaster relief efforts, Air-tow’s ZERO° Trailer supports the post-disaster and recovery phase. Its refrigeration capability ensures safe transportation and storage of perishable goods like food and medicines. The refrigerated trailer runs on 120 volts, allowing the use of a generator during power outages. The heavily insulated enclosed design protects sensitive items from external elements, maintaining optimal conditions for storing or transporting goods.

3. ATM and Vaults

Transporting ATMs and vaults requires specialized equipment due to their weight and size. Air-tow Trailers Ground-Level Loading technology allows equipment with low clearance to be easily loaded onto and off the trailer. The enclosed models provide a secure and efficient solution for this task, minimizing potential damage and theft and ensuring safe delivery of the ATM or vault. ATMs and Vaults contain sensitive electric components that require a stable deck during transportation. Air-tow Trailers offers an air suspension option that automatically adjusts the deck to ensure a level and smooth ride, making it a perfect solution for hauling ATMs and Vaults.

4. Vending

With vending machines being bulky and heavy, Air-tow Trailers are a great transportation solution. The ability to lower the deck simplifies the loading and unloading processes, enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing the dangers of ramps or tilt beds. With vending machines being top-heavy, they are often prone to tipping over during transportation. A shoring bar is a great addition to the trailer as it helps secure taller items such as vending machines in place. 

6. Flooring Equipment

 

Industries relying on floor cleaning equipment benefit from using Air-tow Trailers. Floor scrubbers and sweepers are low clearance and difficult to load onto traditional trailers. Since the deck can hydraulically lower flush to the ground, flooring equipment can be driven directly onto the trailer.

 

7. Electrical

 

Electrical contractors rely on specialized equipment such as scissor lifts, forklifts, skid steers, boom lifts, and mini excavators for completing day-to-day tasks. Air-tow trailers enable the transportation of this essential equipment, ensuring quick and safe processes. The trailers’ stable loading platforms and adjustable height settings simplify the loading and unloading of the contractor’s low-clearance equipment. The enclosed trailers provide a safe space for other common electrical equipment, such as electrical components and fixtures, tools, and ladders. Each trailer has eight heavy-duty D-rings that enable users to tie down their cargo. These D-rings secure the equipment in place and prevent movement during transportation.

8. Convenience Stores

Convenience stores need to maintain adequate refrigeration storage to run efficient operations. This can be challenging, especially during peak seasons, events, or power outages. Air-Tow’s ZERO° Trailers offer a unique solution by providing temporary refrigeration units that can be easily transported and set up wherever needed. This flexibility ensures that perishable goods remain fresh and accessible.

9. Airports

Airports rely on ground support equipment (GSE) to ensure seamless performance on the ground before and after flights. Air-Tow Trailers assist transporting and maneuvering GSE such as baggage carts, aircraft tugs, and maintenance equipment. The trailers’ deck design and stability make them ideal for safely moving heavy equipment around busy airports.

10. Elevators

The elevator industry utilizes Air-Tow Trailers for transporting elevator counterweights, a crucial component that balances elevator cabins. These counterweights, often made of dense materials like concrete or metal, require specialized handling and transport due to their weight and size. Air-Tow Trailers delivers a reliable method for moving these weights efficiently and safely, ensuring the smooth operation and maintenance of elevators.

Conclusion

Air-tow Trailers offers transportation and storage solutions to diverse industries, ensuring safer, more efficient, and secure delivery of specialized goods and equipment. Their innovative features and adaptability make them essential assets in productive business operations.
