We can. As a matter of fact we moved a 773 Wednesday on a 9 axle. Gonna depend on the state you are in though.

Another difference you will find, even without a power tower, like our 8 axle, I drop the suspension before backing under. Once I am all hooked up then I put air back in the suspension of the jeep and up it comes. It does look like the trailer was picked up 2-3" in the video. Hard to see but you do see the trailer rocking when he gets back under it.

My mistake for not looking up specs. A 772g goes approx 80k so easily hauled on a nine axle. Your right he came off the ground just as he hit his fifth wheel so maybe an inch or two. The last trailer I ran with a power tower jeep wouldn't come off the ground with the air out made it super easy to hook up loaded.

@Hurst. Heres a P.O.S. I winched on then drug it off to a guys scrap yard years ago, 1986 I think. Ca put the end to trailing (bigger units) when they limited wheel weight to 18K lbs. Until then, you still had to have working brakes on the trailing axle. Yeah, like they worked........ We just ran a hose for looks!
