The Expandable Touchdown excels at adapting to your needs, both at the drawing board and during everyday use. Its innovative retractable axle bogie and integrated control panel make setup a breeze and allow you to focus on your business. With an automatic leveling system and low step-in height, the Expandable Touchdown really gives user-friendliness a new dimension.

The Expandable Touchdown is as flexible and easy to transport as any trailer, yet it retains a low step-in height and compactness. Today, we take a closer look at the Expandable Touchdown – a new era in mobile technology.

Meet the Expandable Touchdown

The Expandable Touchdown ushers in a new era in movable spaces. because it managed to solve a crucial question. How can a mobile unit fully lower to the ground (thereby creating a low step-in for visitors) without compromising on interior space? Using new and patented technology, the Expandable Touchdown is the first of its class that manages to do both without compromising on either. It truly is a unique player on the market. And it's still easy to set up as well!

How can the Touchdown have wheels, yet still have a height of only 35 centimeters off the ground? That is because of a little feature called the axle box. This is where the wheels disappear into as the hybrid lowers to the ground. From the inside, it looks like a metal box that can be used for various purposes – a bar, a table, or perhaps even a desk. It’s a feature, not a bug, that can be incorporated into the interior design of the hybrid trailer.

  • Simple and quick setup, just 15 minutes for 1 person;
  • A low and inviting entrance;
  • A compact design, yet spacious when fully set up;
  • Transportable by a normal or low-deck truck;
  • Modular design with options to pick from like electric door(s), single/double hinged door(s), harmonica doors, glass side panels, roof terrace, air conditioning and heating.

How to set up the Expandable Touchdown

  • Step 1: lower the front legs, raising the Expandable Touchdown so the truck can drive out from underneath it.
  • Step 2: lower and slightly expand the Expandable Touchdown so its rear legs can lower to the ground, raising it completely off of its wheels. You can now manually raise the side skirts.
  • Step 3: slide the rear axle bogie slides to the back, picking up the rear bumper and sliding further to the rear so the wheels fully retract to the back of the Expandable Touchdown.
  • Step 4: with the wheels at the back, lower the Expandable Touchdown fully to the ground.
  • Step 5: fully expand the left side of the Expandable Touchdown, which simultaneously lowers the left side part of the floor. Repeat for the right side.
  • Step 6: draw the curtain over the rear bumper to cover the rear axle bogie, and attach the stairs to the Expandable Touchdown.

The chassis has multiple axles and wheels, indicating it's from a heavy vehicle like a truck or a bus. The setting is an industrial or warehouse environment, with shelving units in the background containing various boxes, suggesting this might be a storage or a workshop area. The presence of the people gives a sense of scale to the large vehicle parts.
