Cities, school districts and municipalities are constantly looking for ways to equip their employees with the safest most cost-effective equipment on the market. But many of these organizations fail to address one key piece of equipment, the trailer. In the best weather conditions, tilt-bed trailers can be difficult to use and loading often requires at least two people; while loading ramps are just plain dangerous. Flex Trailers Inc. has eliminated the dangers associated with conventional trailers with the ground-level loading Air-tow Trailer. The added safety that comes with an Air-tow Trailer eliminates the worry and potential cost of lawsuits, labor claims, union claims and workers compensation from injuries caused by inferior trailers. Loading and unloading equipment is now a one-man job, coincidentally reducing labor costs. The safety and savings make it an easy decision for cities, school districts and municipalities across the country to upgrade their trailer fleets to the Air-tow Trailer.
The Air-tow Trailer hydraulically lowers flat to the ground for simple and safe loading and unloading of any type of equipment. It only takes one person to hand load with a dolly or hand cart and driving equipment onto it is as easy as pulling into a parking space. Even in adverse weather conditions, low profile equipment with little traction, such as scissor lifts and sweepers, can be loaded without hassle. The deck remains level at all times and self-adjusting air suspension prevents the load from shifting at any point during the loading process and travel. The airbags are attached to swing-arm axles, mounted in steel roller bearings, and will adjust for side-to-side weight variations giving the user a level and smooth ride in any situation.
The Air-tow Trailer comes in many styles such as: flatbed, utility, enclosed and gooseneck. Air-tow also offers exclusive models that can’t be found anywhere else. The 3D, drop-deck and dump, is a hybrid trailer that loads at ground level and has full dump capabilities. And the DH-10, dock height trailer, acts as a “mobile dock” that allows the user to load at docks up to 60” high and unload at ground level.
