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.

I guess that must be it ,I looked at the trl again and it had some type of jack leg between the trl wheel I guess that what it is used for. Thanks Teal 95 ,and it was a Kentucky trl, 53 ft no lift gate

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:

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:
