What happens here

The heavy rear dump doors are carefully installed onto their hinges at the back of the trailer. The team then meticulously adjusts them to ensure proper alignment and a tight fit, making sure they open and close smoothly and latch securely. Miguel then fully welds the hinges in place to prevent any movement.

Goal: Install and align the functional rear dump doors.
