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.

2. Safe Handling: Proper tongue weight distribution [...]

When it comes to versatile, reliable, and efficient trailers, Air-tow offers a range of models designed to meet different hauling needs. Whether you are transporting heavy machinery, sensitive equipment, or bulk goods, understanding the loading capacities and unique features of each Air-tow model will help you choose the right trailer for your requirements.

Each model is named based on what the trailer is, its bed length, and its weight capacity. The meaning behind the letters is S for single axle, T for tandem axle, N for narrow, E for enclosed, G for gooseneck, 3D for drop-deck and dump, DH for dock height, and Z for ZERO°. The first number is the trailer bed’s length in feet. Sometimes, the bed length can be longer, but it always starts with this first number. The second number is the weight capacity that the trailer holds in pounds. For example, the S8-35 model is [...]

Air-tow Trailers offer customers a choice between rubber and air suspension systems. Both options excel in ensuring cargo safety and reducing strain on the trailer frame, but they cater to different needs and preferences. Understanding the benefits of each can help you make an informed decision on which to choose.

For over two decades, Air-tow has relied on the durability and performance of rubber suspension systems. These systems utilize floating axles mounted in heavy-duty roller bearings. One of the distinctive features of rubber suspension is its ability to adjust stiffness based on the pressure applied. As more pressure is exerted, the suspension stiffens, effectively handling severe shock loads even at maximum capacity. This characteristic significantly minimizes the force transmitted to the trailer frame and the cargo, ensuring a smoother ride.

Compared to traditional leaf springs, rubber suspension stands out due to its smooth ride quality and lack of wearing components. Air-tow backs its rubber [...]

Air-tow’s commitment to creating a safe work environment is evident in the trailers’ construction. Beyond standard safety components such as a breakaway switch, steel deck, and tie-downs, Air-tow trailers are equipped with additional features that make them safer than the average trailer. Air-tow deliberately designs each model to reduce hazards with unique and enhanced trailer features. Here are five additional safety features that Air-tow Trailers provide as a standard for all models.

Traditional trailers often require ramps for loading and unloading, which can cause potential risk. Ramps pose the danger of equipment slipping or tipping over during loading, leading to possible injuries or damages. Air-tow Trailers eliminate this risk by offering ground-level loading, allowing for safe and easy loading and unloading. Ground-level loading is accomplished by a hydraulic system that enables the bed to be lowered flush to ground level when loading and unloading and raised when towing.
