When it comes to transporting heavy equipment or goods, safety and ease of use are essential. Air-tow Trailers excels in providing innovative features designed to enhance both safety and convenience during transportation. Whether you’re hauling construction equipment, landscaping tools, or anything in between, here’s how you can leverage Air-tow’s advanced safety features:
Standard Safety Features
Ground-Level Loading:
Air-tow’s signature ground-level loading technology allows the deck to lower completely to the ground, enabling safe, smooth, and level loading. This minimizes the chance of tip-overs, roll-offs, or strain-related injuries. It provides the safest loading experience available.
Progressive Rubber Suspension:
Air-tow’s standard rubber suspension offers a unique progressive spring rate. This means it adjusts stiffness according to the load, preventing bottoming out even under severe shock loads. This feature significantly reduces stress on the trailer frame and cargo, ensuring a smoother ride and longer lifespan.
Optional Air Suspension:
Consider the optional air suspension for unparalleled smoothness. This system automatically adjusts to the exact weight being carried, including compensating for side-to-side weight differences. The result is a consistently level ride, enhancing stability and reducing wear on tires and components.
Extra Heavy-Duty Steel Deck
The deck of an Air-tow trailer is built tough with a 3/16” thick steel diamond plate, as is standard. This extra-heavy steel provides the durability needed to handle extremely heavy loads without bending, warping, or deforming. It’s designed to maintain its integrity under stress, giving you peace of mind even with the most demanding jobs.
Deep Storage Compartment:
Equipped with a lockable 10-inch deep compartment, Air-tow trailers provide ample space for securely storing tie-downs, tools, and miscellaneous items. This built-in feature ensures that essential equipment is readily accessible yet safely stowed away.
Power Compartment:
Air-tow trailers house critical wiring and electronics in a dedicated power compartment. This compartment keeps components shielded from the elements and debris. The wiring inside is heavy-duty and weather-protected, resistant to corrosion, impact, and wear, ensuring long-term durability and ease of service.
Remote Control Operation:
Operating the hydraulic deck couldn’t be simpler with Air-tow’s remote control option. With the press of a button, you can effortlessly raise or lower the deck in less than 30 seconds. The wireless remote option adds further convenience, allowing operation from a distance.
Swing-Arm Axles:
Exclusive to Air-tow, the proprietary swing-arm axles utilize large tapered roller bearings for durability. Unlike traditional designs, these axles feature adjustable camber and tow-in settings, promoting longer tire life and reducing maintenance needs.
Adjustable Coupler:
Air-tow trailers come with a 5-position coupler channel to accommodate different hitch heights. This channel ensures a smooth, level ride by allowing precise adjustment of the ball or pintle coupler to match your vehicle’s setup.
Extra Wide Deck:
With a generous 75-inch width, Air-tow trailers can accommodate wide equipment such as skid loaders and pavement sweepers. This extra space also allows for side-by-side transport of two scissor lifts, providing flexibility and ease of loading.
Heavy-Duty D-Rings:
Eight robust “D” rings along the trailer’s edge provide secure anchor points for tie-down straps or chains. Strategically spaced on each side, these rings offer reliable load securing capabilities for various cargo types.
Fenderless Design:
Air-tow Trailers feature a fenderless design where wheels and suspension components are fully enclosed within the frame. This not only enhances safety and compliance with state regulations but also eliminates the need for fender replacements due to wear or damage.
Weather-Protected Modular Wiring:
Ensuring reliable electrical connections, Air-tow employs a weather-protected modular wiring harness. This heavy-duty construction resists impact, corrosion, and wear, allowing for easy replacement of damaged sections without the hassle of splicing wires.
LED Lighting Solutions:
All lighting on Air-tow trailers utilizes state-of-the-art LED technology. Flush-mounted and rubber-sealed for durability, these LED lights provide superior visibility while minimizing the risk of damage, ensuring safety during night operations.
Adjustable Length Safety Chains:
With slotted link adjustments, Air-tow trailers offer precise control over safety chain length. This feature prevents dragging on the road, preserving the chains and maintaining optimal safety standards during towing.
Radial Tread Tires:
Equipped with high-quality radial tread tires matched to various load ratings, Air-tow trailers ensure optimal traction, stability, and durability under diverse operating conditions.
Tongue Jack:
The high-capacity (7,000 lb) tongue jack features a quick-adjust drop-down leg, requiring only a few turns of the crank to raise or lower the tongue. Its solid base plate provides sturdy support in all ground conditions, making trailer hookup fast, easy, and secure.
