    There is no flooring it, the trailer is sitting on the ground and the drive tires. Why do you think it’s a rotator and not a straight pull out.

    Yes that is the end result of this particular time. That's easy enough to see. All you armchair quarter back these threads. Very easy to say the right thing then.

    If that would have been me and I seen the trailer start to drop I would have laid into it hoping to pop it back out. No it would not have worked for this guy but it is the best thing to do.

    The best thing to do is not to drop off the pavement.

    I'd much rather get a text picture of this than one with the truck, trailer and load flopped on her side in the same spot. Go ahead and power through it, you'll be ok...

    If you zoom in you see the gussets on the side of pedastal, and the bolts under Lift cylinders. Its a 30 ton NRC sliding rotator.

    Trailer needs lifted because tire rack is holding it up in the pic. The game is to midigate further damages. Yea you could winch it, might come out. But with that high center of gravity load it safer to lift. Plus as soft as it looks the wheels might not come up and making a rut, or get hook on base of the road. 20190217_114411.jpg
