We are pleased to
announce the arrival of our Texas Rollback Trailers. These
trailers are designed specifically for car/truck hauling and
make the process of loading infinitely easier than traditional
methods. Whether you’re a long-time veteran of hauling your car
around or are just now shopping for a trailer, the benefits of
a rollback trailer will quickly become apparent. With the
exception of trucks, almost every car built today (especially
sports cars and Corvettes) are so low to the ground that damage
will occur when trying to load it on a trailer – the approach
angle is too great and the front fascia will invariably make
contact.
Watch Trailer Demonstration
Texas Rollback Trailers use
solid steel rollers, on three tracks, which are built into the
chassis that supports the deck. This allows the deck to move
separately from the chassis, giving the user an ease in loading
or unloading which is unparalleled.
When the spring-loaded locking pins are released and the
trailer brakes are engaged, the deck is free to roll backwards
(as the tow vehicle is backed up) and down to the surface,
giving the user a 5 degree deck angle to load or unload a
vehicle or cargo. The trailer is remarkably versatile.
After loading or unloading, the user reverses the procedure by
locking the trailer brakes and pulling the tow vehicle forward.
This enables the deck to move forward until it touches the
stops. When the lock pins are engaged, the trailer is ready for
towing (see our video of this procedure).
Remember: NO RAMPS, NO HYDRAULICS, NO ELECTRIC WINCHES, OR
DANGEROUS TILT BEDS! Our trailer is a true "roll-back".
In addition, our trailers solve
the following “MacGyver tactics”:
Jacking up the rear of the tow
vehicle to lower the approach angle of the trailer
Crawling out the window/trunk
of your car because the doors won’t clear the fenders
Crawling back IN the
window/trunk to unload the car
Adding ramps/wood blocks to the
front of the car so it won’t scrape
Jacking up the trailer itself
(while attached) to lower the approach angle
Other problems solved or possibly
avoided might be:
Pins coming loose on
traditional trailer ramps on the highway (yikes!)
Hydraulic leaks with other
tilt-down mechanisms
Battery or Pump failure on
hydraulic systems
…any of these mishaps will
certainly ruin your day!
There are also a variety of
different options that these trailers can be fitted with;
front
air-dams, tool boxes, winches, lighting, and of course, tie down
straps. Please call us for further information.
