I'm a designer, not a salesman, so I don't know how to explain this that well, but here goes. It utilizes the weight of the car to level itself. The cams raise and lower the deck when pulling forward or reversing. The cams are independent of each other and would work on uneven surfaces, and inclines/declines (provided the car is forward of the CG pivot point on an incline). The cams fold into the frame when done with a detent pin. The frame of the trailer is steel, and the deck is aluminum. All metal used is off-shelf common aluminum and steel. Modeled to spec. No exhautic equipment needed to fabricate. Axle, leaf springs, dampener, and tires are also of the common variety. Axle is a 4 to 5 inch dropped axle, 3500lbs. Tires will support 3500lbs.+ each. Standard brake lights and marking lights. The deck is designed to be removed from the trailer after you've backed the the trailer into the garage. Once backed in, the trailer is raised via jack (you supply) and the jack stands are lowered and locked in place with detent pins. It will raise to 27 inches in this model ( but I was being conservative). This allows for comfortable maintenance of your broken car, because let's face it, you will break it. Engine bay, suspension, and rear end are easily accessible from underneath. There would be 3 feet of clearance on both sides and a combined 11 feet of clearance front and back in a typical 12'x24' garage. Most of the models shown are the "Fully Equipped" version. Options for the "Base" version would include Hydraulic brake coupler, platform-style wheel wells, rear tire/tool deck, front tongue deck, and a slip-on/removable winch, giving customers options for future upgrades.
