Developed and manufactured in house by Carbon Equipment, HydraDrop is a hydropneumatic suspension system providing market leading ride quality and full height adjustment including ground level loading. Great for difficult to load items like low cars or equipment, improving safety and productivity.
The hydraulic system provides the power to lift and lower the trailer, but unlike competitors also provides the suspension, so there are no locking mechanisms required when the trailer is at ride height. The cylinders are interconnected to provide load sharing, and the optional pneumatic spring provides dampening, which automatically adjusts to the weight applied, for consistent performance on any weight trailer. Integrated sway bars ensure excellent stability in all conditions.
The system is low maintenance and easy to use. It’s typically installed with an onboard battery and trickle charger so the trailer can still be operated independently when disconnected from the tow vehicle. The trailer can either be controlled by a wired switch on the trailer or a handheld remote control. The suspension can also provide additional security with an optional electronic lock on the suspension control system.

Yes, HydraDrop can be integrated into some existing trailers or into a custom-built trailer. Please contact us to enquire about HydraDrop as a partial or full kit.
Hydraulic failures are extremely rare thanks to the high quality components, but if the system loses pressure the trailer will lower to the ground evenly. Hoses to each cylinder are identical, so spares are easy to carry and replace if required and the majority of the system is easily available from any hydraulic repair shop.
Very little! The only additional maintenance is an extra bush per wheel, and checking the hydraulic system for leaks and fluid levels.
