A. Convenience: No hassles such as maneuvering in traffic, backing, finding a parking space large enough.
Loading: Item to be loaded on a trailer has to be rode or pushed up a ramp, or lifted by some external means such as a forklift or by muscle power alone, where as the TK Loader provides an effortless method via the winch used for hoisting.
Economy: No fuel, licenses, maintenance, tires, electrical or tolls
Cleanliness: Virtually no road grime gets in a pickup bed, whereas trailers and their cargo are bombarded with it.
Storage: The TK Loader, if removed from the truck, can be stored against a garage wall or even left outside, requiring very little space. A trailer, on the other hand, requires more storage space and may not be allowed in some communities.
Maintenance: Trailers require regular maintenance on their electrical systems, brakes, and tires. The TK Loader is virtually maintenance free.
