    I've hauled bales of garbage out of Bethpage, NY.
    They put a railroad cross tie in the nose before loading. The cross tie has steel cable attached to each end and the cables run the length of the trailer and hang out the back.
    When you get to the dump, a small bull dozer hooks to the cables and pulls the whole load off at one time.

    Haulbikes has a liftgate.

    They have 2 levels in their trailers.

    Don't know how many they can haul but it's a pretty good number.

    I had them haul my just purchased bike cross country.

    So that's what those dozers are for at the Harley dealership. I thought they've just been spending years delaying construction or something.

    If you park a truck load of harleys in the right part of town, they can be unloaded quickly and easily, but nobody saw nuffin, so not sure how they do it. lol
