Thanksto our Suspension Reactive Loading (SRL) frame geometry and suspension design you can ride your bikes onto the trailer, making it much easier to load heavy, full-size bikes. As you ride your bike onto the trailer the suspension compresses under the weight of the bike, virtually eliminating the ramp-to-trailer apex. Once the bike is loaded, the suspension springs back up and levels the trailer.

*Free freight to contiguous 48 USA states via standard LTL ground freight with delivery to a residence (liftgate included), local freight terminal or business only (must specify if business has forklift access or requires liftgate). Home delivery may not be available/not guaranteed to all locations. Home deliveries, where possible, are curb-side-only; inside delivery or additional requests may incurr additional charges.


All products are shipped FOB (Freight On Board) Anaheim, California. Kendon does not guarantee shipping and/or transit times. Customer is responsible for any additional freight charges. Residential deliveries, where possible, are curb-side-only. Due to the large size and height of Kendon trailers, Kendon cannot guarantee that a trailer can be shipped and delivered to all business and residential locations throughout the United States. Due to equipment and area limitations, residential deliveries with a lift gate cannot be guaranteed to all locations. If unsure, please contact Kendon for a freight quote and to verify that a trailer can be delivered to your location. Kendon does not accept returns without an RGA (Return Goods Authorization) number.

Thanks to our Suspension Reactive Loading (SRL) frame geometry and suspension design you can ride your bike onto the single trailer, making it much easier to load heavy, full-size bikes. As you ride your bike onto the trailer the suspension compresses under the weight of the bike, virtually eliminating the ramp-to-trailer apex. Once the bike is loaded, the suspension rebounds back up and levels the trailer.


Our Ride-Up models feature wider loading ramps, wider rear sections, and foot extensions to provide safe foot placement as you ride the bike onto or back the bike off of the trailer. Lightweight design for true one-person operation (a spotter is always recommended for safe trailer usage).


The Single-Rail trailer features a wide expanded metal with diamond plate deck area designed to hold one full-size bike such as a Harley-Davidson, GoldWing, K1600, adventure bike, etc. The heavy-duty torsion-bar axle and hub combination give the Single-Rail its full 1,300-lbs. carrying capacity.


Very much smoother ride. I'd bet that now when you drive down the highway your head does a fair amount of bobbing forward and back right? With air ride you won't have that any more. In our IH truck with it hooked to a tandem spring ride trailer everytime you hit a bump numerous things would rattle from the jarring motion. Now it's quite and smooth sailing.


We've got a '98 Lufkin drop deck that we've had long enough to safely assume is still sitting on it's original air ride equipment. Last October we parked it and in March the air bags still had air pressure in them.


We really like it. Thinking of getting another after next year to replace our double setup. It is pretty disgusting after corn harvest along with all the other trucks. Reminds me....I should get photos. The rigs around without fenders look much worse.


Legally right now with this I can haul 92,000 and with a pusher 98,500 and only the only added tare weight to go from 92 to 98.5 is around 1500lbs for the third axle. I feel a lot safer lifting that 3rd axle and maneuvering around the yard with 46,000 on two than 40,000lbs riding on a single axle. It will go anywhere a 42' trailer will go.


we just traded a maurer spring trailer for a timpte air ride and there is a difference in the way they pull as well as ride.Air being a lot better, I dont know about durability yet. The maurer was a good trailer and gave no problems but wanted to try a timpte after what I read here on ag talk.

I posted this pic on a square body addicts FB page because it was the only pic of the truck I had. I launch on an irrigation lake that fluctuates dramatically and does not have ramps. very shallow fall in grade, and usually if I do have an issue it is too flat and I end up swamping the motor to get it in. One guy suggested I put air ride, with a dump valve and just drive in dump the valve and the boat floats off right?.


I have never measured how much water it takes to get off the trailer, but this may be a sweet addition. not to mention the benefits of an air ride system less baring on the boat, in this price range 100k+, it cannot be that big of a stretch to add air ride.


I guess you could do air lift with torsion bars but to get the desired effect, you'd have to reduce the tension on the bars so the bags hold the weight so it could then be lowered. Interesting project, not sure how much it will give you though, maybe 3" of travel??


I'm not sure that you could really implement air bags on one of these trailers, or that it would even solve your problem. I lowered my 2012 Boatmate trailer about 1.25" by re-indexing the axle trailing arms on the splined torsion shaft. This allowed me to get it into my garage without letting air out of the tires.


That is about as low as I could go without having the tires bottom out in the fenders from bumps while towing. I would guess you could only go about an inch or so lower than that before the tires bottom out while stationary. I haven't noticed any difference with how easily the boat launches at the ramp with the lowered height, I think you would have to do some drastic changes to the trailer construction for that to happen.


Have you thought about stock trailers? I love my trailer but with my not so good hauler I wish I had bought an extra wide, extra tall stock trailer. I think she could balance better in one of those than a straight load. But - hind sight is 20/20 and maybe she would not.


I have a stock combo: it has a slant divider to use it like a 2H slant, but I leave the divider out and use it as a box like a regular stock trailer. My horses easily turn around in it to walk off front facing. It has a dressing room up front, which I also appreciate.


Not only can this suspension handle tough loads, it also lasts under tough conditions. From the heat of the Australian Outback to the hard winters of Canada, the Silent Ride trailer suspension proves its durability.
