A mechanism designed to lower a trailer’s axle closer to the ground is commonly offered as a set of components. This assembly facilitates loading and unloading by reducing the vertical distance between the trailer bed and the surface below. An example would be a system used on car haulers, where lowering the deck allows vehicles with low ground clearance to be loaded without difficulty.
The utility of this system stems from its ability to enhance efficiency and prevent damage. Reduced loading angles decrease the risk of scraping or damaging cargo during transit. Historically, these systems represent an evolution in trailer design, addressing challenges related to varied cargo types and site conditions.
