Well, I know that there are some HHG style freight trailers that have liftgates and levelers on the back (similar to what an RV have) for loading/un-loading.

Now, my trailer I have has a toggle switch on the front I can run it in "normal" or I can raise and lower the body by a flick of the switch. Is this similar to what you are talking about? My trailer is a Kentucky and this is how most of the newer HHG trailers I've seen work. You can raise it so you can hit a freight dock or higher loading docks to load/unload from a warehouse.

Is that why i can't get it to raise? My Rental truck doesn't have a dump valve!

What do I know, I can't pull off the lot in my trailers 1/2 the time lol

Teal,

You can also raise and lower the trailer to make it look like the lizards are busy working. :lol:

And, what kinda driver would one be if they DIDN'T contribute to the career ladies out there?


Sadly...what Bandit says is true, I was there for a good hour or so watching him trying to get his trailer to roll in the parking lot, LMAO. :lol:

Rolled S-cam that later got me DOT'd in Phoenix :roll: :lol: :lol: Hey, remember when you got in the drivers seat and the truck magically rolled around the lot? Ok, just making sure, because I don't recall 8) :lol: 8)

And the trailers don't rise/lower like a lowrider. They take a minute or two to fully inflate or feflate. A valiumed out lot lizard drinking a "rodie sodie" might notice :wink:
