Air Vs. Rubber Suspension

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.

Rubber Suspension

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 [...]

The Ultimate Scissor Lift Trailer

The low-clearance design of scissor lifts makes transporting them a major challenge. With its durable build and innovative ground-level loading technology providing safety and efficiency, Air-tow Trailers is the ultimate scissor lift trailer. Air-tow is the perfect solution for transporting various brands of scissor lifts, such as JLG, Genie, Skyjack, Haulotte, and Snorkel.

However, transporting them can cause major challenges because of their structure. They are low to the ground and often have small wheels. Traditional loading methods involving ramps or tilt beds can be hazardous. Ramps create steep angles that can tip the scissor lift over, especially during the loading and unloading process. Additionally, the uneven weight distribution on ramps increases the risk of accidents.
