The device has many functions that appeal to customers who need to store their trailer, want added security, and have safety in mind. The Trailer Trap:
- Provides a solid base and stand to hold your trailer. This prevents your trailer from moving due to adverse weather conditions, uneven ground, or unwanted access by unauthorized persons. When in the upright position the Trailer Trap blocks your trailer from being moved. The stand also relieves stress from your trailer jack. No more lowering your jack and chocking your tires every time you park your trailer.
- Foldable and compact design allows the device to be mounted on a small concrete pad without worry of losing ground clearance or having a bulky stand to walk around. The height of the device when collapsed is only 4 inches, providing plenty of space for axle clearance. This allows the device to be lowered, locked, and out of the way when not in use.
- Unique locking design allows trailer to be secured four different ways. The locking mechanism on the arm of the device secures it in an upword position, discouraging trailer movement; the coupler lock functions like any normal trailer lock; the locking hood protects the ball from unwanted access; the barrel lock is tamper-resistant and is the final level of security for your trailer and property.
- Organizes your property. Provides a permanent yet removable base to position and secure your trailer to.
- No-pinch design and bright colors and safety tape make the unit visible to you as you're backing up your trailer. Warning labels and cautions advise to keep children and unauthorized users from accessing the device.
- The Trailer Trap is available in customizable colors, different mounting bases, and different size receiver ball's.
