Loading Broken Equipment and touring My 2nd Favorite dealership

What happens here

To prepare the trailer for loading, the operator positions the dump trailer on an incline, leveraging existing terrain, to create a less steep ramp angle. He then deploys and places short, foldable aluminum ramps onto the back of the trailer. A remote control is used to hydraulically tilt the dump trailer bed further, significantly reducing the loading angle. Finally, the side doors of the trailer are secured using pins and latches to prevent accidental opening during the loading process or transit. Any debris under the trailer is also cleared to ensure stability and proper ramp seating.

Goal: Position the trailer, set up ramps, tilt the bed for optimal loading, and secure all trailer doors and clear debris.
