One of the biggest advantages is the excellent roadholding. The air suspension distributes the weight of the trailer evenly across both axles, resulting in a much more stable ride. This minimizes the risk of swerving or unstable driving situations, particularly at higher speeds or when driving around bends. In addition, the air suspension adapts dynamically to different road conditions and load states, resulting in continuously optimal road grip. Unevenness in the road, such as potholes or bumps, is almost completely compensated for by the air suspension. Not only does this provide greater comfort, but it also protects the vehicle being transported from bumps and shocks that could cause damage. Since the suspension keeps the tyres in constant contact with the road, the braking performance of the trailer is also improved, as the tyres bounce less and therefore have more grip. This increases safety when braking, especially during emergency braking or on slippery roads. Another advantage of the full air suspension system is the ability to lower the trailer until it is almost or completely on the ground. This feature is particularly useful when vehicles need to be loaded onto the trailer. Lowering reduces the angle of inclination of the loading ramp or, in some cases, even makes it unnecessary. This makes loading much easier, especially for low-slung vehicles or those with low ground clearance. This minimises the risk of the vehicle bottoming out or being damaged when driving on or off. The maneuvering device offers additional comfort, as it allows the trailer to be maneuvered precisely even without a towing vehicle. Especially in tight spaces, such as campsites or parking areas, the trailer can be moved and placed effortlessly without having to move the motorhome. This increases flexibility and simplifies the entire process of loading and parking. In addition, the lowering function together with the air suspension ensures that the trailer is kept at an optimal height even when loaded. Even with heavier vehicles on the trailer, the handling of the motorhome and trailer remains stable because the air suspension compensates for the additional weight and the combination therefore lies evenly on the road. This reduces the load on the tractor unit and increases driving efficiency. The suspension also helps to minimize tire wear because the pressure is evenly distributed and the tires are subjected to less strain. In summary, a fully air-suspended, lowerable tandem trailer with a mover device offers an exceptional combination of comfort, safety and flexibility. The excellent roadholding thanks to the air suspension, the ability to compensate for uneven ground, the simplified loading thanks to the lowering function and the precise maneuverability thanks to the moving device make it an ideal solution for the safe and comfortable transport of vehicles behind motorhomes.
