Felling Trailers Air Tilt model trailer
Felling Trailers’ Air Tilt model has updates to increase ease of use and safety. The fixed approach ramp was extended in length from 14 to 22 inches. Extending the fixed approach ramp’s length reduced the load angle by approximately 10 degrees, providing a better load angle with a more subtle break-over point. The new design also allows for the option of full-size oval recessed strobe lights. The Air Tilt’s design utilizes air, powered from the tow vehicle, to tilt the trailer and optional ramps, eliminating the need for hydraulics. 800-245-2809; www.felling.com
