Melton is having a bad day in Knoxville

I'd say it's more flimsy trailer than load shift.

 

That's why u don't jackknife a loaded spread axle... can get away with it when ur empty... dudes got that thing at a full 90 degrees... if u never run a spread axle they will move side to side like that when u turn real sharp, combine that with top heavy load, recipe for disaster.. surprised he didn't pull those trailer tires right off the wheel

 

That's why I said it's a flimsy trailer. In my experience the steel frame trailers flex a lot compared to full aluminum. I never run into any issues like that with our reitenouers. Just one of the benefits of aluminum trailers.

 

It's just a difference in the properties of steel and aluminum. Steel can flex a lot more before it has plastic deformation which is a permanent change. Aluminum has to be thicker and it is much weaker when flexed so it's made to be stiff. All this leads to different performance characteristics of the trailers. The one time I had something heavy on a steel trailer it freaked me out seeing it flex around curves in the highway.

 

They will all do it if u turn it sharp enough... theres no reason to put a spread axle at that angle, doing nothing but damage

 

That depends entirely on where you deliver. We've got lots of really tight places to deliver that are basically just some guys driveway. And by basically I mean exactly some guys driveway.

One of the easier drive through deliveries.
