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.

The Challenge of Loading Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts are commonly used in many industries. They are known for their ability to provide stable and elevated work platforms. 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. 

Why Air-tow

One of the standout features of Air-tow Trailers is its unique ground-level loading capability. Unlike traditional trailers with ramps or tilt beds, Air-tow Trailers’ deck lowers flush to ground level, allowing users to drive or push their scissor lift onto the trailer conveniently. This technology significantly reduces the risk of accidents and equipment damage. By eliminating the steep angles associated with ramps, Air-tow Trailers reduce the risks of equipment tipping over or workers getting injured during the loading and unloading process. Ground-level loading simplifies the process, making it quick and straightforward even for operators with minimal experience.

Air-tow Trailers allow users to create better operations and maximize productivity. Common Air-tow Trailers for transporting scissor lifts are the S8-35, S10-55, S12-55 and Dock Height models. With Air-tow’s extra-wide 75-inch deck, users can load and haul two scissor lifts side by side. Air-tow Trailers are not limited to scissor lifts. Their design accommodates a wide range of equipment, making them a versatile investment. The Air-tow trailer is deliberately engineered to create efficient operations, built with practical features like eight heavy-duty “D” rings, adjustable safety chains, and an adjustable coupler. 

Air-tow Trailers are built to last. They are proudly fabricated and assembled in the USA with high-quality materials. They are manufactured using heavy-duty steel, ensuring they can handle the weight of equipment without the deck warping over time. Even with frequent and daily use, the integrity of the trailer is not compromised. The quality build of Air-tow results in minimal need for repairs, which saves consumers money.
