    I got sent out this week with some random Manac step deck. How the hell do you work with these things? The marker lights severely limit strap locations, the spools are so spread out that it makes for poor usability of 2 inch ratchets, and the J hook rails are useless in the one place they're really needed over the axles. I'm used to reitnouers so this thing is completely alien.

    It's a cheap made trailer. You get what you pay for.

    The crane company had a whole bunch of them, I thought they were good trailers. We had some tri axles with pin on 4th’s and they were stout.
