Air Tow Drop Deck Trailers Overview

Intro to Air-Tow Drop Deck Trailers

We all know how difficult it can be loading and unloading cargo and equipment that has unusually low level ground clearance.

When you're loading cargo such as this you'll get to a certain angle point on the ramp it's starts to hit bottom or makes it challenging to get on to the trailer.

Fortunately, at NC Trailers, there is a solution to this problem. We have drop deck trailers for sale that offer ground level loading!

This is not only beneficial for that cargo or equipment with low level ground clearance but also makes it easier for loading in general.

Our Air-Tow trailers are powered by hydraulics that lower the deck of the trailer to the ground and raise it back up to riding level via remote all while staying level.

These trailers come from Rock Line Products who patented the idea back in 1996. They are the only trailer manufacturer to specialize solely in this technology. With at least 20 years of experience they have optimized these trailers to provide a smooth ride and unique loading technology. To see exactly what we mean visit their website here.

What can you haul with an Air-Tow hydraulic drop deck trailer?

  • Skid steer
  • Scissor lift
  • Forklift
  • Motorcycles
  • Vending Machines
  • Safes
  • Pavement sweepers
  • Skip loaders
  • Much More!

Let's take a closer look at what these trailers offer and which ones are available to you at NC Trailers.

Unique Features of Air Tow Drop Deck Trailers

First, let's examine the features of these trailers and what makes them special.

*Note: not all trailers will have all the same features listed below. Please see each models specs to examine the trailer you're interested in more closely.

Features:

Rubber Suspension: Has a progressive spring rate proportional to the load size. Will support loads at maximum capacity without bottoming out, reducing shocks transferred to the trailer. Has been in use for 10 years on Air Tows.

Air suspension (Upgrade) : This type of suspension uses a pressurized air bag and automatically adjust air pressure to adjust for your loads weight. Has been in use on vehicle systems for forty years and has been proven to provide the smoothest ride of any known suspension system.

Swing Arm Axles: Mounted with tapered roller bearings which means you'll have no plastic guides or spring bushings that will need to be replaced.

Radial Tires: More expensive, higher quality tires which increases your trailers lifespan. Tires come balanced.

Extra-Wide Deck: Some of the Air Tow Trailers are 6ft or 72" wide. We also sell 75" wide deck trailers allowing you to load a variety of different types of cargo & equipment.

Steel Deck Plate: 3/16" steel diamond plate is standard. Provides a sturdy deck without warping.

D-Rings: Most trailers have four heavy duty D-Rings on each side of the deck.

Remote Control: Makes raising and lowering your trailer a breeze. Just press up or down and the deck will move smoothly in the desired direction. Takes less than 30 seconds.

Power & Storage Compartment: Includes 12V motor, hydraulic pump & tank, 12V deep cycle battery, remote control, anti-theft switch, and one 10" deep compartment for storage.

LED Lighting: State of the art rubber and flushed mounted lights.

Adjustable Coupler: Trailers come standard with 5-position coupler channel allowing you be flexible in your towing height.

Adjustable Chains: Allowing you to keep them from hanging too low and dragging on the ground.

Fenderless: Tires are completely covered and located within the trailer frame. This means no worrying about replacing fenders or having them protrude outwards.

Heavy Duty Jack: Has a quick-adjust drop down leg, solid base plate, and 5,000-10,000 lb capacity.

Weather Protected Wiring: Heavy duty wires designed for weather, wear, corrosion and impact.

Other notable features: No tilting while loading, curbside loading, and ability to load while uncoupled.

As you can see, Air Tow trailers have been manufactured with care and thought over the past 20+ years. All of the added features are there to prolong the life of the trailer and giving you the best unique towing experience possible with a hydraulic trailer.

Now that we've gone over the unique features, let's take a look at the drop deck trailers we stock.

Conclusion

We hope you can see the many advantages of owning an Air-Tow drop deck trailer. You may have a certain type of equipment that requires you to take extra care while loading.

Had the pleasure of buying our first trailer for our new business from them this weekend. And let me say I can’t say enough about this company. From the first call with Donna, till we drove off the lot hooked up, they were absolutely amazing! Their inventory is intensive yes, but the customer service is extraordinary! Our purchase experience start with a transfer to Zach who was welcoming and extremely knowledgeable! Shancie took care of the financing and made everything so easy and simple, and Tammy was fast with our paperwork! Noah and Ryan went above and beyond for the install and hookup of all the accessories we choose! These folks are the best around and hire the most wonderful crew! Highly recommend them for any trailer purchase or service needs!

I would like to take a minute and recognize several people at NC trailers. From the start it was Zach & Sam in sales which went above and beyond the process of helping me pick the correct trailer and helping me complete all necessary paperwork when I was literally 1800 miles away driving down the road.

Shanice in financing made financing the trailer simple and quick, and behind the scenes Tammy in tag/title department was doing her magic so it all came together as one cohesive unit the day of picking the trailer up.

Speaking of picking up the trailer, Ryan & Noah truly went above and beyond expectations working in the pouring rain, while not compromising standards of making sure everything went smoothly and that I was hooked up correctly while taking the time to fully go over every aspect of the trailer and how to hook and unhook the trailer.

Tyler in Service & Parts was very helpful with information regarding the Gooseneck hitch for my next trailer.

Thank you to each Team member of NC trailers. I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone needing a trailer.

So, if you need any type of trailer, accessory or even a repair, NC trailers should be your First and only stop. They truly make you feel like Family and the trailers are rated top in the Industry and priced very reasonably.

Head on over to NC trailers and get your trailer today. Tell them Mitch with a “M” not a “B” sent you, and you should receive an extra smile or two.

I have to say I had great experience with the staff at NCtrailers in Thomasville, NC. The staff up there were amazing. I had the pleasure of being David’s first sale for his new career dealing in this type of equipment. He has had many years in sales and it shows but he decided to venture into a new atmosphere of sales. Working through the contract side of things Shanice was very thorough and was able to give me all the details I needed. She was so inviting and made you feel comfortable through would could be a stressful process.

Tammy was a sweetheart with the tag and title paper work and talked me through all the necessary links and info I would need to setup the last little bit of info.

Ryan and Noah had me all hooked up and ready to go and even took the time to help me find a short in my connection on my truck so I would be comfortable knowing all the lights and everything worked properly on the new trailer.

All in all I had a great experience with the entire staff from parts to sales to service. I will most definitely be recommending them to anyone I know for their trailer needs.

Now wish me luck on my lawn care company venture.

After searching many sites, I settled on calling NC Trailers of Thomasville, NC. Zach was very helpful over the phone answering my questions. After I decided on a trailer I drove 3 1/2 hours to arrive at their location only 30 minutes before they closed. They didn’t mind my late arrival or staying to complete the sale. I changed my mind on the trailer I wanted and Shaun was very quick to redo all the paperwork for the sale. Noah was also helpful in going over the trailer with me and answering questions I had. And thank you Tammy for saving me a trip to NCDMV, at NC Trailers they can do your DMV registration and you leave with tags already installed. The trailer pulled smoothly all the home.

This company was great! Zach showed us great options, and helped us pick the perfect trailer for our needs. Shawn explained all of the extra packages we could add to it, and finalized the contract. Tammy did a great job at making sure we had our title, tag,and registration taken care of. And, Ryan and Noah got us hooked up and ready to go. Because they have an on-site parts and service department they were able to install the needed brake controller the our truck wasn't equipped with. Wonderful place. Will definitely recommend!
