Easy-To-Load Rampless Trailer
The "rampless" trailer has an electric-hydraulic pump mounted on the hitch that powers a hydraulic cylinder which lowers the trailer floor. The tailgate is connected by mechanical linkage so it raises or lowers automatically when the trailer moves up or down.
"It takes less than 30 seconds to raise or lower the trailer," says Ern Malchow, owner. "The trailer is only 9 in. off the ground so you're loading almost at ground level. The trailer can also be lowered by a hand-powered pump. We make trailers to any size or weight-hauling capacity. Our single-axle lawn mower-golf cart trailer is 5 1/2 ft. wide by 10 ft. long and sells for $2,200. We also offer tandem axle models up to 8 1/2 ft. wide and 22 ft. long for hauling skid steer loaders, implements, etc. A 6 by 12 ft. model with a 4,500-lb. capacity sells for $3,500 to $4,500 depending on options."
