    I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. But I guess I should be thankful the whole side of the trailer didn't bust off and topple me and the excavator over sideways. I've been thinking about replacing the flooring and painting this trailer, I guess now is gonna be the time to do it and fix the back while we're at it. Anybody got a trailer I can borrow or rent for a month or two while this one is down ?? I'll take really good care of it, I promise !!

    Again, not being a flatbedder, I imagined the worse when I clicked on the vid. I was thinking the thing toppled over, or someone ran it too far up the trailer...all sorts of wonderful things go through your head!:biggrin_2559:

    @SHC, I guess the tracks were just so far outside of the frame rails when I got to the end, right before it tipped down, it just gave out. Four or Five of the cross braces are bent underneath and you can see the steel on the back crinkled up. Back of my trailer looks like a frowney face
