The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I’m sure you’re like me… total kid in a candy store look on your face. Took me 53 years n this planet to make it happen and I couldn’t be happier. If you’d have cut your trailer in half, removed a foot or 2 and welded it back together, you’d have no trouble unloading that. Sheesh, some people lol!

Back quickly, hit the brakes

Oh, undamaged?

I have a gantry crane for that.

Use an engine hoist to set one end down the use it for the other end.

Shoot Jim, it has wheels. roll it off! Just cut those pesky fenders off and weld on new ones, they are probably shot from those IL winters anyway. grin

Isn't that what they make engine hoists for? Heck, I just saw 3 fork lifts in the background, borrow one for a few minutes.

Rhino, floor jack under the front & two guys controlling the other end hanging onto the posts - let them steer it & guide it off slowly. EASY!

I had two fork lifts on one end, backed the trailer under it, then lift the rear legs with the fork lifts. I don't have that handy at my new shop, and 20K sq ft less space to have them run around! Of course my trailer is too wide to just use the legs to jack it up. I figured I will move it back as far as I can until it hits the fenders then use two engine hoists to lift the other legs and drive the trailer out from under it, Will probably do it tomorrow. As far as friends to help, I burned them out during this last move...LOL..

Used my forklift to assemble mine. Game changer. Makes it a lot easier

Congrats! You got a lift later in life like I did. You'll have to learn how to work all over again, like I did. It's a lot different than laying on your back with a vehicle up on jack stands!

Didn't your parents teach you not to brag!

I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.
