The trailer appears to be a folding utility trailer that has various wooden supports added to it. I had a folding trailer for many years, and occasionally used it to haul two kayaks. That was not an optimal use for the 6-ft long bed. It had been made in the USA and was reasonably heavy gauge steel. My guess is that the video shows a lower-quality steel imported trailer (similar to http://www.harborfreight.com/950-lb-...res-42709.html) that would rust pretty easily. It seems that the owner is reluctant to back any part of the trailer (except an inch of the tires) into the water. That leads to the exaggerated loading situation.
I agree that this is a potentially annoying ramp scenario.John Veil
