Anhänger mit Luftfederung

Explanation:
Wird als Sonderausstattung geliefert und kann zum Absenken und Anheben des Anhängers verwendet werden. Wie z. B. hier:

Zu Deiner Zusatzfrage: Bei einer Luftfederung eines Anhängers werden sehr wahrscheinlich "Luftfederbälge" verwendet (wie auf der zweiten Site unten), mit Hilfe derer durch "Ablassen" und "Wiederzuführen" von Luft in die Bälge die Höhe des Trailers einestellt werden kann. Umgangssprachlich scheinen auch die deutschen Trucker zu sagen: "Luft aus der Luftfederung ablassen", aber genau müsste es eigentlich "Luftbälge entlüften" heißen. Oder als Kompromiss: "Luftfederung des Trailers entlüften".

luftgefederter Anhänger

Explanation:
In the same way that many railway vehicles and trams now have air suspension, so do lots and lots of road vehicles - in fact, they almost certainly came first by a long way...

Remember the old DS Citroen? That may have been on of the first production saloons with air suspension; I really don't know, but I seem to recall they are getting on for forty years old now. And the reason you have to let the air out is that if it leaks off, the level of the trailer will no longer match the loading ramp, or may get suspended on top of it, or something similar.
