Airtow Trailers has added the RS8-20 to its product line. Because the trailer is designed with a small footprint and 2,000-pound capacity, Airtow says, it’s ideal for carrying smaller scissor lifts or lighter equipment.

The Model RS8-20 trailer deck remains level as it raises and lowers using the hand-crank winch system. The 8.5-foot long by 4.5-foot wide deck rests flat to the ground, eliminating the need for a ramp and making loading easier.

The trailer has an axle-less, rubber suspension system with a progressive spring rate, according to Airtow, giving it a quieter and smoother ride – loaded or empty – than with conventional leaf springs.

The company says all its trailers are powder coated with standard royal blue color with removable 2-by-6-inch pine deck planks.

With the new Model RS8-20, Airtow offers more than 20 trailer sizes. Ranging up to 16 feet in length and 12,000 pounds in capacity, the trailers are available in flatbeds, utility, dump, enclosed and goosenecks.
