If you’re exploring the world of Air-tow Trailers, there’s always more to know. From towing tips and safety features to suspension technology and customization options, these 10 FAQs cover additional insights to help you get the most out of your Air-tow trailer.
1. What vehicles can tow an Air-tow trailer?
Your vehicle’s maximum towing capacity should exceed the total weight of your trailer plus its cargo. For example, if your trailer weighs 4,000 lbs. and you’re carrying 5,000 lbs. of equipment, your vehicle’s towing capacity should be more than 9,000 lbs. Always verify your vehicle’s towing capacity, hitch rating, and local regulations before towing.

4. What kind of license do I need to tow these trailers?
According to federal law, a class A license is required when the trailer’s GVWR exceeds 10,000 lbs. A class C license can be used for trailers with a GVWR under 10,000 lbs. It is the responsibility of the trailer owner and operator to ensure their trailer complies with local and national regulations.
5. How durable are Air-tow Trailers?
Air-tow Trailers are built to the highest standards. The deck is made exclusively of 7-gauge steel. Each trailer is built with durable material, precise welds, and a powder-coated finish to withstand daily use in construction, landscaping, electrical work, and more.
6. How does Air-tow Trailers’ air suspension work?
Air is pumped directly into the air bags by two independent air compressors, one on each side of the trailer. The axles on each side of the trailer are monitored by electronic sensors. As the axle deflects under added weight, the compressor is turned on to increase the air bag pressure. When the weight is removed, the sensor initiates air to release from the airbags. This provides a super-smooth ride, whether the trailer is empty or fully loaded.

7. Should the deck rest on the safety latch?
No, it should not. To ensure the deck is raised properly, always lift it all the way up. Remember, the latch is for safety, not support. Avoid having your load ride on the bar by raising it clear of the latch.
