Not pretty, but saving money. 
What happens here
Begin by visually inspecting the dump trailer tailgate to identify the extent and location of the damage, specifically noting the inward bow on the top edge. Once the damage is assessed, position a large excavator, such as a John Deere model, in front of the trailer so that its bucket can be precisely maneuvered over the bent section of the tailgate. Ensure the area around the trailer and excavator is clear of any personnel or obstructions to maintain a safe working environment.
Goal: Prepare the tailgate and heavy machinery for the straightening process.
