    Thanks to a helpful PM from a TTR member, I've made an adjustment. Maybe we'll wait a little while longer for seven axle freight...:D 20210624_180717.jpg 20210624_180725.jpg

    Of course I know what was wrong, but maybe for others, if you could point out what needed adjusting.

    The outriggers are hydraulic, and can settle. All the hydraulics are supposed to be secured.

    Would the basket have stayed on the deck if you loaded it the other way? What did you have for weight on the trailer axles?

    Im glad us skateboards dont have to bump docks .... She was a tight fit... dont u guys love these docks ? Super tight and backing up into a dark hole.. Took me about 20 pull ups to get it in there.. And thats only because it was a straight back.. If it was angled, id probably still be there lol

    I have never had to back into one of those. Now that I’ve said that…

    Dry wall places are notable for those. Some shingle places have them.
