Usually have a couple of things going on that can cause this. First off, the landing gear is set back further than it is on most pups. Usually pups that have the landing gears set this far back, also have a drop down stabilizer bar mounted on the front of the trailer. But these need to be set correctly after you've dropped the trailer. Sometimes guys forget, or just too lazy to set them. Sometimes they are damaged or missing altogether.
It can be a wild ride for the poor fork lift driver that is loading/unloading a trailer like this, and gets far enough forward to counter balance the trailer and pick up the back like that.
