What might that do when you get a load that happens to be considerably heavier on one side?

That's not very pretty but did Big Tex actually build the lift. My Maxey has the same lift but it is not built by Maxey.

PS. I have a big tex and it is not my favorite trailer.
PSS my lift was made by KTI

Im not sure. Im waiting to see what they say. Im hoping they just give me my money back and I will get the PJ. This will be the second trailer with them. They must have no quality control at all

How do you like the Maxey? I'm getting interested in one of their gooseneck deckover units but don't know much about the company.

BigTex no help but owner of dealership called me and will take trailer back and let me order a new brand. Turned out okay.

Some of the Big Tex dealers that I have been to here in the North west , are all independent . They have their trailers hauled in by commercial flatbed trucks and There is were the problem usually occurs . Trailer is fine at Factory , Loaded By Factory and still fine , strapped down under observation by Factory and still O.K. . But some were in transit , driver retightens straps , chains , whatever and things start going amuck .

Why I say this is that the Dealer I bought my Big Tex had the same issue's until He started using His own trucks to haul trailers back to His sales lot , ( He also runs a 5 Truck Fleet of Flatbeds ) . Once He did that , All His trailers are like straight from the Factory line look upon arrival .

I Think You will find many type's of issue's with any brand , if their trailers are delivered by other than company trucks from factory .
