Collapsing Trailer Jack-Legs on Transported Trailers

The only other options I can thing would be, take a 2"strap and gut wrap the dolly so it doesn't go down, or nail your own dunnage down on the deck and then extract the legs onto them prior to take off for your trip...

Honestly shipper should be on top of this not you.

 

How the heck would the pull pins have vibrated out and allowed the legs to drop? They are spring loaded and the weight of the trailer and tension of the chains or straps would also be holding them down. Never had a pin magically pull out hauling one behind the pickup

 

Now my curiosity is peeked... I may have to go dig one out of the junk pile and perform a "smoke wrench autopsy" to examine the inner construction and pin geometry...

 

IMO, you’re way overthinking this. You’ve learned what these trailers can do and you know, NOW, you need to set them on dunnage. I wouldn’t do anything else, especially regarding typing up stuff for for the company. Worry about you and move on, because you’ll find no one else seems to care. Sounds terrible, but, that’s where the industry is at.

 

That'd make me nervous to trust that brand of jack. Drop the trailer with 80-100 square bales on and the leg just drops for no reason.

 

If I can find one I will post some pictures... Not sure if we have any left. Alot of the junk pile has been hauled to scrap over the last couple years.
