Imagine building a camper on one of these. No need for tall levelling jacks, just put a couple of blocks under it and drop.

You’ll have ppl calling you don’t worry

+Barnacules Nerdgasm I FOUND YOU

Barnacules Nerdgasm didnt expect you here

Barnacules Nerdgasm wow

Yes that is very true! Also we think that this may be good for furniture movers or other such industry where ramps make working difficult and/or dangerous. Would just need to add an enclosure if required.

LMFAO!! You sir have just won the comment section!

I don't think u have a mother in law. U want it for your own mother. Like the guy that says.. "do u have any advice for my friend?" Because we all know it's for u.

Don’t forget the tiedown cleats. No wait. Nvm. Let her fly.

Forklift bro.much easier

Classic AL Bundy joke, lol

Thanks!

Thank you!

Very true! I got a 1951 Buick on air ride. I tried to put the car on a regular trailer once. I got half way up and realized the car was way too wide and too long for the trailer. People tell me to I should fix up a smaller car. This trailer is awesome.

Well it would be pretty easy to do even if you bought the trailer and did it yourself. All you need to do is have four separate switches for the axles, then if you lose one airline you only lose pressure on one tire. And you could perhaps have a hunk of steel with a pin at each end - the suspension in the upright position if all else fails. Obviously you would not have any suspension travel at this point but some trailers are that way anyway

+nathan campbell Hi Nathan, there are safety stops which prevent it lowering while towing. Also the lines are plumbed individually, so if you were to ever get a leak at some point it would not lower from loss of pressure in one bag. Please see our website for the current version.

Thanks! We're just starting on our second one now that has motorcycle wheel chocks added to it. May also add a smaller motorcycle version if there is demand for it. www.airbaggedtrailers.com

If you type in motorcycle loading fails here you will notice there are too many failed attempts to load a motorcycle on the bed of a truck that was too high to do it safely.

*past

Thanks!

Airbagged Trailers I'm the go to guy for hauling kids friends lowered Honda's etc when they break. I can remove a bumper n my sleep.lol this would be so much easier. if only I had a brain.lmao

@@randyprevette3903, look into the old school heavy construction equipment and old military transport tech. This concept has been around since the 1960's.

Thinking of it is something many would-be inventors do. Prototyping it is where most people give up.

DO some digging. This concept has been around since at least the 1960's in the heavy construction machinery and old military gear transport tech areas. Its not new. Just repurposed old school basic sense with some 'shiney stuff' and a big modern price tag.

Donahue trailers has had a similar trailer for agriculture equipment since the 60's. It's also manually operated. www.donahuetrailers.com/implement-carriers

Thanks!

Lol why would you be towing at 140km/h

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Air suspension really is fantastic and we can't believe there isn't more people using it for car trailers, like it is for semi trailers, trains, buses, cars, suv's and other transport.

It really is. It truly makes loading up a vehicle a one man job and the convenience is unparallelled. Not to mention the load capacity can be greatly increased.

LOL! Now that's funny and I can see that happening!

Two words, hitch lock

Two words. Angle grinder

Two words: body armor

Two words.. that’s funny!

It already has one case of bag failure. "One common question is "what fail-safes are in place to prevent the trailer lowering while being towed?" (such as due to an air leak or accidentally pressing the remote control), and to answer this, there are a few measures in place to ensure safe towing. Firstly, we use the highest quality components available throughout, to give the longest life and highest reliability. Secondly, each of the four airbags are plumbed individually, so if one was to deflate, the other three would generally support the vehicle still until the trailer can be towed somewhere to be fixed. Thirdly, we have mechanical "safety stops" on the suspension (in front of the airbag in this photo) which prevent it from fully lowering while towing. These can be simply flipped out of the way before loading, so the trailer can lower right to the ground. If there's anything you'd like to know about the trailers, please comment here or drop us an email." facebook.com/AirbaggedTrailers/photos/a.154774581363541.1073741828.153700201470979/617854728388855/?type=3

It looks like the shock travel would be hindered by locking out all height adjustment. Still I'd like to be able to lock a minimum height with a pin.

if you lock it with a pin it will eliminate the suspension travel. You can't do that....

That's correct, the suspension can't be locked or you lose the great ride from the airbags and shocks. There's instead a minimum height stop, which is flipped out of the way when the trailer needs to be lowered, but in place when towing, for if there was ever to be a slow leak or accidental airing out (such as by someone pressing the remote while towing).

Airbagged Trailers a

That's a neat idea with the wrecked truck! And yes that's definitely a plus being able to change tires by just airing out that airbag. We've found that a block isn't even needed under the frame, as the other airbag on the same side can just have a little more air added to it.

Drop me an email George. I have some info on Australian sales. And yes that's correct, I'm a Kiwi.

Thanks!

Yes definitely! We've done one so far with custom wheel chocks for motorcycles and are working on another one now. May also be adding a specific motorcycle version soon too. Please follow Airbagged Trailers on Facebook for updates.

You fix it.

@@Onizukachan915 Air bags are high pressure don't work like that bud.

+Kleo 84 We've loaded some pretty crazy low cars! We like a challenge ;)

@001 002 I had a car like that in hawaii we have little round white lane markers that look like "manapua's" (Google it probably called something else where you are) so my car was the manapua killer lol

That reminds of the comedian that said Honda's aren't exotic sports cars LMFAO.

Thanks! Pricing is available on our website for anyone interested. www.airbaggedtrailers.com

Start at 12 K....sky is the limit

@@BAZZAROU812, as someone who build custom stuff at times I can assure you that $12K trailer has at best $3 - $4k in materials and labor into its build. Granted they are neat modern design (based on at least 1960's heavy construction equipment and old school military transport tech) but are grossly over priced for what you are getting.

@@tcmtech7515 looks like you just got yourself a business opportunity then.

Thanks!

Thanks! Please see our other videos for the production version, which is even better.

Hi Bill, not right now but may add a higher capacity version if there's demand. Please check out our website for current specs and pricing, and drop me an email with what size/capacity you're after and I'll see what I can do. Nick. www.airbaggedtrailers.com

with the design shown in the video you aren't going to come close to having heavy equipment on it. solid axles are a must

This is correct. Our design is optimized for maximum width, so lower capacity (much smaller/narrower) tires are used than would be needed. Even without thicker suspension arms, so much loading width would be lost just from this that a significantly higher capacity would not work for our main target market. There are companies making drop trailers for forklifts, but they won't fit cars on them.

Bill speedy response guys i like it! this is the perfect trailer for cars. only thing i can see as a major plus for a other concept would be an enclosed trailer. best of luck with y'all's buisness y'all are definitely doing the lowered car world major service!!!

Better off getting a lowboy

Please check out our Facebook page for many examples of the doors opening over the fenders, as well as the doors opening when the trailer is lowered. This can also be seen in our other videos here on youtube.

stay in the car lol have a cold one incase you can't get out in 2 weeks ;)

sunroof, windows, throw a rock threw the window, or stay in the car.

Perfect for LOW RIDER 😎

This trailer was intended for people that have friends!

Much nicer to live on the ground instead of on wheels. Make a trailer that transports tiny homes that you slide onto. Just make your tiny home on 2 x 8 pressure treated framing and drag it up onto this type of trailer.

Chris Cook Good idea. Thanks.

Anthony Rizzo I went on the website and the specs for the trailer indicated too small of a capacity. It will only carry 4,400 lbs. You will need a trailer that carries more like 10,000 lbs. They could engineer it. I think that it is the design the tiny house movement should move to. It is wasteful to build separate trailers each time. Just use rentable skid trailers. (This would be considered one).

Chris Cook I've seen a couple of tiny house videos where the builders did put them on skids, as you said, and just moved them onto concrete foundations. The only draw back is if you want to move the house around frequently, then it's better to keep it on wheels and just use jacks when stationary.

Anthony Rizzo Agreed. Most of the time a tiny house should stay pretty permanent. If you want to move around a lot I recommend a travel trailer. It is not needed to have it on a concrete slab. A concrete pier that is relatively flat and custom made for the homes would be really nice to live on.

+kmg501 Hi, this video shows the very first prototype trailer which was being towed by a car (not ideal, but is common in New Zealand) and is the reason it appears to sway briefly. It did trips up the country with no problems or sway issues at all though. Please see our other videos for the current USA production version, which is a completely upgraded design, runs four Bilstein shocks, and is the best towing trailer on the market. We've taken our demo model across America multiple times as well as it has been used regularly for almost two years now with no issues.

Airbagged Trailers Thanks for the reply, good to hear of the improvements.

+Airbagged Trailers link?

+Benjamin look at their latest video maybe?=)

Benjamin m

the struggle is real

Thank you for the kind words! Please see www.airbaggedtrailers.com for production version details, and we can customize trailers further for applications such as yours too. Please drop me an email if you'd like to discuss ordering a trailer. Nick

Thanks!

With the irony being that static cars are what this trailer is best for haha

Maybe they're just not happy with the price when you can build one for $4,000 and he's charging 12 +.

@@ronaldledgerton878 You can't even buy half of our parts and raw materials for $4k, so your assumptions on that are very wrong. If it were true, we wouldn't be the ONLY company making trailers that do what ours can do, almost six years after we launched this video.

Thanks! We're working on one this year, so will be taking orders for those soon(ish).

Yes you are correct, it is not a suitable tow vehicle. It's a Mitsubishi Diamante and although the trailer in this video is fairly tiny and with a lightweight vehicle on it, is unfortunately may not rated for the load being towed. This was filmed in New Zealand where this is however common, as full size trucks basically don't exist (towing with cars is unfortunately not uncommon). It was also filmed before we were a business, as it was all that was available at the time to show the prototype. After coming to the USA and seeing how to tow with suitable sized trucks, we now know the error of our ways. Airbagged Trailers does not recommend towing cars with cars and people should always check their vehicles tow rating. The slight wobble at the end was because the shocks on the prototype were not good enough. We run Bilstein monotube shocks on all of our production trailers since 2013 and they tow incredibly smoothly and stable.

@@AirbaggedTrailers I admire your honesty; it isn't often somebody will come out and say yes, we made some mistakes. Well done.

Thanks! Yes lots of potential applications :)

Oh and snowmobile etc lol

@@rsuccihky15 Yeah that's a good one as well. We've had everything from ice fishing houses to wheelchair accessible toilet trailers suggested. Interesting applications include for transporting hovercrafts and hot air balloon baskets, and as a platform for a tiny house. The options are endless

Thanks! Although initially it wasn't actually anything near that expensive, our new model now starts at only $9,999 (USD), with details at www.airbaggedtrailers.com.

Thanks!

Thank you! Things are going great in the USA and we're excited about launching an EU/UK model soon.

Or getting in and out of sharply cambered driveways.

Thank you. Have you seen our other videos? We've made some huge changes since the trailer in this video, and there is more to come.
