YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE WALKING FLOOR IS BUILT HEAVY ENOUGH TO RUN A FORK LIFT ON, OR HAVE THE FLOOR BE ABLE TO WALK THE PALLETS FROM BACK TO FRONT. i USED TO PULL ONE OF THOSE, IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING TRAILER I HAVE EVER PULLED. iF THE FLOOR IS NOT FORKLIFT CAPABLE OR ABLE TO WALK BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD YOU WILL NEED A PALLET JACK OR TWO WHEEL CART TO LOAD. DEPENDING ON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE LOAD. YOU CAN ALWAYS LOAD THEM BY HAND TOO IF YOU WANT TO FINGERPRINT EACH BAG TO STACK ON A PALLET. THAT IS A BUNCH OF WORK.
