1-20. (canceled)
A trailer comprising:
- a platform structure;
- a wheel coupled to the platform structure;
- and
- a suspension system coupled to the wheel and the platform structure, wherein the suspension system comprises:
- one or more first shock-absorbing components;
- a second shock-absorbing component;
- and
- a connecting member configured to position and connect the first shock-absorbing components and the second shock-absorbing component,
- wherein the connecting member includes a supporting base configured to support the first shock-absorbing component;
- and
- wherein the connecting member includes a contacting surface member configured to be in contact with the second shock-absorbing component.
The trailer of claim 20, wherein at least one of the one or more first shock-absorbing components includes a center portion and an external portion.
The trailer of claim 20, wherein the one or more first shock-absorbing components include two stacked modular first shock-absorbing components.
The trailer of claim 20, wherein at least one of the one or more first shock-absorbing components includes a first slant surface and a second slant surface.
