    Me and my dad were discussing pup trailers the other night and he said they used to have an extra support in the front to prevent an end over end. Have you guys heard of this? It's just one of those things that is boggling our minds because we can't find it on the internet.

    yes most of them have a small leg that drops down off the nose after disconntecting to prevent trailer from tipping forward while forklifts are in them

    they arent putting them on all pups anymore, they are supposed to be better balanced to prevent it from diving


    here is a pup trailer without a dive leg with too much weight in the nose........

    the only pup trailers that i know of are dump, tanker, & flatbed & they have wheels on both ends, therefore they can't tip forward. if you're refuring to a van pup than the dolly keeps it from tipping foward.
