The Dock Height trailer is a durable and versatile trailer solution. Similarly to all Air-tow Trailer models, the DH-10 lowers flush to the ground, enabling ground-level loading. Unlike the other models, the DH-10 can also provide dock height solutions. The one-of-a-kind Air-tow Drop-Deck and Dock Height trailer raises 5 feet (60”) high, allowing users to load and unload their equipment or materials at dock height. The trailer has an easy-to-use hydraulic system that lowers and raises the height of the bed. The bed will raise or lower with the push of a button on the remote control conveniently located in the power compartment. The deck is 3/16” diamond-cut steel plate. The steel is thicker than average trailers, ensuring it will not warp over time. The trailer weighs 5,700 lbs. with an 8,000 lbs. towing capacity, equivalating to a GVWR of 13,700 lbs. The DH-10 is the ideal trailer for those who frequently travel between a loading dock and job sites.
