And price being the reason ground loading trailers have never really caught on in the motorcycle community. More expensive than a regular utility trailer and close or (as in the case of Baxley) more expensive than a cheap enclosed trailer.
The ground loading design is a real advantage when moving heavy equipment that doesn't have much clearance, like safes and motorized scaffolding.

I have the Baxley SBX09 foldup trailer. It has the additional advantage that it has a fairly small footprint when folded, so it doesn't take up much of my garage floor space. Expensive and worth every penny:

Baxley Trailers has been making a similar design for years. They were also one of the first with a locking motorcycle wheel chock.

Seems like a good deal, for a certain use.

Watching their video, you have to pick up the front of the trailer while its loaded to attach to the ball on your vehicle and to disconnect. How heavy is the front to pick up with a touring bike. In the video they show a trike with more of the weight on the rear. The Baxley definitely looks like a better design, if the pictures look right, you don't have to disconnect the trailer to load and unload. OP, don't get me wrong I'm not bashing your trailer just after observing differences in both manufacturers.

Circa 1991 I had a three-rail rampless motorcycle trailer from a company in the Dallas area called EZGlide. Trailer rails moved down with a winch to be flat on the ground then winched back up for travel. Rails held in loaded position with four hitch pins. Designed by an Iranian guy who owned a metal fence company. First located on First Street in Garland then on Grauwyler Road in Irving. They made two generations of the trailer. First generation had to unhitch from the trailer ball to load motors. Second generation (mine) you didn't have to unhitch to load motors. Easiest trailer to load/unload that could ever be.
