Spring ride vs Air ride reefer

Spring ride is the trailer of choice-in Afghanistan. For real. Air bags are far superior. Very durable and not expensive to replace if needed. Just my .02 worth.

 

Springs cost more to repair and need more attention than air ride. Also load damage is less with air ride.

 

Every trailer that Walmart buys is spring ride. Spring ride is lighter than air and has been around for a long time. But some shippers want air ride. I wouldn't be afraid of spring for a good deal.

 

Yep all spring ride I am picking up one in brazil in Sunday and it is spring ride on a brand new refer wagon

 

Spring ride rides a bit harder under load and somewhat more so when empty.
They also don't keep deck height constant like air ride.
You have to however take that in context.
99% of 4 wheelers are on some form of spring and not air and they have the same issues as mentioned above.
I prefer air but really you wont even notice the difference 90% of the time and when you can it will be negligible.
Remember that nearly all trailers were built this way and worked fine , just as this trailer will work fine.
