We believe firmly in the principal of transferring the load to the frame of the trailer. This is accomplished by allowing the lifting mechanism to settle onto mechanical locks, which are mounted to the frame. This removes all strain from the hydraulic system. A loaded reel bouncing down the road can exert tremendous shock loads to a hydraulic system. We feel steel to steel mechanical transfer of the load to the frame is much safer and reliable.
