Can Air Be Released From Timbren Axle-Less System to Lower Ground Clearance
Question:
I would like to know if there is the possibility to empty the air in the suspension of the trailer, to have less clearance with the ground for unloading my bike?

Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems, like the 3,500 Pound # A35RD545 that you were looking at, feature independent AEON springs for load support. These are not air springs but durable hollow rubber springs, so they aren't something that you can adjust the air pressure for or empty out when needed to decrease your ground clearance.
This particular system does have a 4" drop spindle though, which will lower the overall deck height of the trailer for easier unloading/access.
I'm not sure what type of trailer you have but you could also add simple ramp like the Stallion # 288-07432 when needed to help with your bikes. This 90" long, 18" wide ramp just attaches to the rear of the trailer using rubber-tipped ends and a cam buckle safety strap.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.
