When it comes to transporting heavy equipment like scissor lifts, sweepers, and pavement rollers, reliability, and ease of use are essential. Air-tow’s single-axle trailers are designed with these needs in mind, offering versatile solutions that make equipment transport smooth and efficient. Available in both flatbed and utility styles, these trailers are perfect for a variety of industries.

Single-axle trailers often prove to be the better choice for urban environments and areas with strict vehicle regulations.

One important but often overlooked factor when it comes to towing trailers is trailer tongue weight. This seemingly minor detail plays a large role in safety, stability, and overall performance while on the road. Let’s explore why trailer tongue weight matters and how it impacts your towing experience.

Trailer tongue weight refers to the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. It’s essentially the weight the trailer places on the tow vehicle’s hitch. This weight is crucial because it affects how the trailer behaves during towing, particularly regarding stability and control.

1. Stability and Control: Adequate tongue weight helps maintain stability while towing. It ensures that the trailer tracks behind the vehicle smoothly without swaying or fishtailing. Insufficient tongue weight can lead to instability, especially at higher speeds or in windy conditions, making the trailer harder to control.

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 [...]
