I do not know. Strange though I own one I have never used that feature. When looking at a trailer I would like to see a 2000lb gross, a wood floor and twelve inch wheels including some spring action to kill some of the bump and jump.

The wood floor is easy to screw in load shift blocks. A 6 X 10 will haul two thousand pound pumpkins or three five hundred pound fruits...if the gross is 2000lbs. It will haul aproximately a pick up truck load of manures. My insurance policy permits a trailer with no additional insurance cost.

My personal choice is a trailer that the sides and ends can be removed. This enables fork lift loading from any angle.

i though i wanted on but i found a old c50 dump truck for the same money and bought it..reason being..when somebody wants to borrow the dump turck just tell them the brakes need reworking and they go borrow somebodys elses..a trailer on the other hand..not a bunch of excuses for not loaning it out so they can tear the jack off of it, break the tail lights,not check the grease in the wheel bearings,and on and on and on...
