If the rig has a parking brake, or is a manual, or an auto, I assume you just drive it on and park itWhat's the SOP to load a tilt trailer like that? Like do you need three people? one in each buggy and one to operate the trailer tilt? Or does the front buggy drive on, then drop the deck, then strap the front buggy down, then tilt the deck back up, pray to the trailer gods the straps hold on the front buggy, and load the back buggy?
Anyways ignore my rambling, good-looking setup!
You ever parked your vehicle on a hill? One person can load the trailer, drive the first on and put it in park, drive the second on and put it in park then from this point you have two options.What's the SOP to load a tilt trailer like that?

Thank you, I'm liking that truck what's the plans for it?Got this today. Big cam cummins, ac, and a bang pad in the back. View attachment 339648
Also @Stuntman Autoworks that's such a sweet trailer.

#1 pull out my remote and lower the deck then climb out of the second rig.
#2 get out of the second rig and go use the wired handheld remote to lower the deck.
Once you have picked the option you prefer then you lock the deck down and strap the rigs.
I'll make a power point sometime. Haha
It was wet and muddy this weekend at windrock and loading up wasn't an issue. I did get the Oak decking and they seem to be a rougher finish than what seems to be the standard pine board that is put on trailers so maybe that helps.This "Hill" you speak of, what does it do?
I figured it was simple, I guess since I also busted my ass on some wet ass wood...thanks a lot raining for days and days and days...I was thinking parking on a wood surface hill could be interesting if it was wet.

Nice looking setup! Once you put some weight on it, you'll love how it pulls even more compared to the F150.After trading the F150 in on this F250 in January, I finally hooked it up to the Tramper to take it on a test tow. I didn’t have time to load the trail rig in it, just pulled it empty, but it pulled it so nice!

I’ll keep the airbags in mind. I’ve really got to lift the trailer, it drags badly on my steep driveway. It didn’t drag as bad with the F150 since it pushed the rear of the F150 down, but the 250 didn’t squat. It has Dexter torsion axles, I found the lift kit for it, just got to find time to do it.Consider getting some air bags - IME, the 250s are sprung super soft in the back.
Take the axles loose and weld a piece of HSS to the bottom of the frame, then bolt the axles to that. The one in the picture is 2x3", IIRC..Dexter torsion axles
