What if it Snows?

Sounds like the trailer door problem I’ve been having lately.

It started with a cable breaking. The shop replaced both, to their credit. However, the failure lies with leaving the springs so loose they wouldn’t hold the door while facing uphill. This doesn’t fly when trucking in the flatlands where 99% of the docks are those that you back down in to.

Then, another issue reared its ugly head. The left side spring started sticking, which has roughly the same effect of a cable breaking. One time while I was cleaning and jerking the door up, that left spring popped and instantly sucked the cable right up.

It happened again today, and this time I stopped by the shop after I rolled back into the yard to show them. Fortunately, not only did the original issue remain but when the spring popped this time it tore the cable bracket clear off the face of the door right in front of the mechanic.

Maybe now it’ll finally get fixed right.

 

I didn’t know what you were talking about at first, but after looking at his picture again it dawned on me that the leading end of the machine would be pointing downhill after getting it on the deck.
