    I have always dreamed of having built in jacks like formula 1 cars. Jack all 10 off the ground with the push of button!

    Closest I've seen to built in jacks was on a trade show/marketing trailer. Had the stuff built in to stabilize it like the RVs...... kept it level and not rocking when someone was walking around.

    750 Pound Jack. Capacity 300k. Drain an Air Tank. Sure, it needs its' own hoist to load behind sleeper, but for a Straight Truck w/Lift Gate, strap in box, but useless if Liftgate compromised.

    I pulled a couple Stage Trailers on a temp gig for a Company that sets up Concerts. Had its' own 4 cycle motor for the Hydraulics which leveled it. It was a neato operation but I was the driver, not stage worker.
