    It is not when dragging machinery out of a van, tends to not go well at all.

    It looks like they are on skids???

    I unloaded some machinery like that once at jobsite in Chicago and the old man there showed me a trick, he came over with a gallon of laundry soap and poured it down the center of the trailer, then wrapped the chain around the skid and pulled it to the rear with his fork truck. Slid just fine, and he even got the hose and sprayed out the trailer when he was done. Smelled good for a few months too !!!

    When I had my van, I carried 8 chains and ratchet binders. Had chain pulls and D-rings in the floor, for securing jet engines and vehicles.

    You should fill the trailer with spray foam. Try not to bulge the sides outward :biggrin_2559:
