have a good community and it ’ s been amazing to work with our customers along the way to get to this point .”
The trailer is so easy to use . In fact , Sonny ’ s 16-year-old daughter has easily operated and lifted nearly 900-pound bike using the trailer . The magic is in the counterbalance , leverage and winch system that Sonny has thoughtfully designed . By using the motorcycle and trailers ’ weight as leverage , virtually anyone can operate the trailer , lifting motorcycles or other cargo without assistance – a feat that would have been impossible for one person to manage before .
While it sounds amazing , what if you don ’ t have a motorcycle and maybe never plan to own one ? Yes , the motorcyclists in Sonny ’ s neighborhood as a child inspired the design , but the trailer essentially does it all . Because it lowers completely to the ground , its design offers a lot to small business owners who need to haul or move things regularly . Furniture movers , lawn care and landscaping , general contractors and delivery services all can reap the benefits of this fully lowering design .
“ If you own investment properties and need to update appliances , you can roll them onto the trailer with a dolly , strap it down and go ; you don ’ t have to lift appliances into a pickup truck . If you have a side-job mowing yards , you don ’ t have to lift a mower anymore . Some empowerment comes in . You no longer need to call your family or friends to help . You can do it ,” explained Sonny .
ZPro Trailers ’ current dealer network isn ’ t a vast array of dealerships across the country , and that ’ s by design . Much like its trailer , the company is looking for dealer partners that are willing to go the extra mile to maintain the company ’ s current reputation for over-the-top service .
Continuing to go the ‘ extra mile ,’ the company offers highly customizable trailers and takes pride in its ability to be flexible due to its bespoke production capabilities .
“ We design custom trailers for custom things ,” shared Sonny . “ For example , we worked with Indiana University to create a trailer that could accommodate a tile remover machine . Originally , the University had to hire a specialist to move the equipment due to its size and weight . Within just six months , the trailer paid for itself because they no longer needed to hire a third-party to assist .”
Whether it be a custom job or just your weekend escape , it is evident that Sonny ’ s innovative thinking has propelled ZPro Trailers to the next level . By creating easy to operate , unique trailers , Sonny and his fully lowering trailer are sure to grab the spotlight and will continue to grow in popularity within the trailer industry . Sonny says he is not done yet , there a many more innovations in the pipeline under ZPro Products .
