| Trailers are a lot like aircraft wings, they are basically a "stressed box". They are VERY strong yet light, If one of the major supports is damaged or fails.. the box "folds up". If the driver was hit or hit something on that side of the trailer.. it could simply collapse like the one in the photo. |

Wonder what made that mark? If that what caused it to fold,but looks like a tire mark, but no way a tire could have hit that before it snapped? looks like a fairly new trailer? |

| Dunno if it's just me or what, but I have seen that quite often. The ones I have seen allways looked like fairly old trailers? but seems common from what I though? |

He might have had a very heavy point load in the middle somewhere too!
Never dragged many vans in my day...I've crawled under them and seen the lack of any kind of true support other than the side rails and don't trust them (WONDER WHY!!!!)
Flatbeds are my forte...they have two very heavy duty BEAMS under there and it would take more than just a fart from God to snap one like that!!!
He might have been one of those guys I've seen....I was loading some steel plate at a plant one day and Saida showed up with a van and loaded a pallet of VERY heavy looking steel right in the middle of his trailer behind some other stuff, then just some boxes at the rear...we were BS'ing and I said "man I would put that heavy stuff over the axle" he said the boxes came off first then the steel another 200 miles down the road...I wonder if the same thing could've happened to him!!! Give me two foot high beams any day!!! |
