    I saw a guy move one and it had like this baby fifth wheel, like 18 x 18 maybe, on a bar, and it had some hardware that bolted right up to the boom on the wrecker. I believe a bolt went in behind the opening of the 5th wheel, it didn't have jaws. So yea he could grab it like that.
    Probably couldn't do it with the Enforcer king pin lock, it's too big, but the little baby red ones, yea, no problamo.

    Yes, that's how thieves steal trailer loads of goods without removing the king pin lock.

    check for hook damage, that tow truck just hooks the trailer and moves it a short way, looks like you got picked not under the trailer.

    Good for the truck stop. I wish more would do this to free up parking for folks who are tired and need a place to park to sleep for the night. I wonder have people really thought that $20 piece of junk king pin lock that they sell at the truck stop would make your trailer invincible from being moved or towed? I bet some actually do. Smh.
