Trail King Hydraulic Detach Complete Rebuild
  As you can see in the video this was a large scale project.  We were able to save Doug Wulff owner of D&K Transport thousands of dollars vs. replacing this self contained hydraulic detach trailer.
This trailer was badly rusted and the thin "Jr" I beams were all in need of replacing, but the frame rails and suspension were solid.
