Trailer Safety Week is a national campaign sponsored by the NATM to generate trailer safety awareness. The goal is to educate everyone involved in the trailer industry, including manufacturers, dealers, traffic safety professionals, and end users, on safe trailering practices.
 
At Austin Hardware, our engineers are always innovating to develop groundbreaking solutions that will improve efficiency, economy, and safety in the trailer industry.

This heavy duty ramp door assist is revolutionizing safety when it comes to heavy ramp doors. The Safe Assist completely removes the physical strain of opening and closing heavy ramp doors by rendering it virtually weightless—all without the need for  dangerous cables that can snap or create a tripping hazard. With the Safe Assist, all that’s required to lift and lower heavy ramp doors is the strength of a single finger throughout the complete motion.

Our drag wheels are an Austin Guaranteed Engineered Solutions™ innovation designed to protect trailer undercarriages from damage when bottoming out. Featuring an all-steel construction with a durable powder coat finish, they are built for superior strength and longevity. With a 3,750 lbs. working load per roller, a front skid plate for hard impacts or soft ground, and self-lubricating bushings that eliminate the need for greasing, these drag wheels offer unmatched durability and ease of maintenance. The bolt-on design ensures quick installation on both steel and aluminum frames, making them a reliable solution for reducing trailer damage and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
