I'd like to see that up close, I'm curious to see what principal it uses...

there right at the very end as he drops the trailer back down, you can see the "cable" ran up from the top of the L raceway... its right at point he reaches in to move the leg. the cable shines just for a moment.
at first i thought it was just a generic "bottle jack" like setup. power up. but goes down under its own weight. and was just using the crank vs a handle ya gotta go up and down on.
not so sure i like the free wheeling of the handling, i think i would end up getting tangled up in the handle. or having a few broken writs/hands/fingers from getting caught up in it.
regardless well thought out! with some ingenuity put in to it!

I like the way he got a high dump angle without having a tall post in front like most other winch dumps have.
I wonder if the "L" had a curved or angled corner, he wouldn't have to push the rod past the place it stopped.
Add an electric winch....
