Technical opinions
#1

After using a stacker for the last year there are several things I have been pondering. The most interesting part is all of the trailers seem to have both or all 3 axles right next to each other. While I understand this would reduce tire wear. It makes it difficult to exit the car once it's in the trailer because of the wheel wells.  

What would happen if you built a trailer  with one axle in front and one at the rear and in essence "suspended" the load between them.  I know reduced tongue weight to almost zero. And you would have the whole inside of the trailer free of tire wells except the back and front 2 1/2 feet. Would make top to bottom doors a possibility  for ease of getting in and out of the trailer when loading.. 

I know there may be a tire scrub issue on the front tires but what if you gave them a little turning ability kind of like a steer tag. Or the front wheels on a tow vehicle. Then have a way to lock them in place when backing up.. Please I know I must be missing something..
