Deck or frame bent

Park on flat ground and reevaluate

 

well first from what i can see, is that you are parked on the shoulder, and i have never known a shoulder to be level and flat with the rest of the road, cuz the rain water has to run off, not sit on the roadway.

you gotta get parked on a near perfectly flat surface.

many times inside a repair garage will suffice, maybe even a CAT scale.

 

Looks like outside frame that the rub rail is hooked to doesn't have enough braces from bottom of frame to outside of cross members to hold the wide wheeled eq. That was on it?

 

i'll say it again, you need to be on a perfectly or near perfectly FLAT surface.

 

I wouldn't get too worked up over it. The other guys are right. Go pull up on a cat scale, then get out and look again. I don't think 40k distributed on 4 wheels is gonna hurt the trailer. That's really not that much psi. Unless the trailer is really weak where it was at. I'm sure your fine though.

 

Got to say, Dade, the guys are right. I'm looking at what I've seen before in your photos, especially parked on a shoulder, it's not surprizing that one side looks more humped than the other. You need to get on flat and level ground. If you're in doubt, then get a 3 axle aligment or check in at a trailer shop to see if they can see what you're seeing. However, after having to pull over to the side of the road, I've many times thought what you're thinking, but it tain't so, normally. Only way to make sure is to get a professional assessment if you want to be sure, but do it before you take another load.

 

If 40 k wrecked your trailer rated for 52k , your trailer's junk (maybe if they dropped it from a foot or so, but that should be ruptured airbags)
