Two things stand out. 1st, the plate and the tongue move as one.
They only rotate as one and even then, the urethane springs will allow a small amount of independent rotation until the springs provide enough force for the ball to breakaway and rotate within its friction cup.
The plate will also move fore-and-aft relative to the trailer frame as the vertical angle changes between the truck and trailer, such as when entering driveways with dips or going over speed bumps.
I'm not saying it couldn't be a forklift. That was actually my first thought. But after looking at the pic closer, it does look like there is interference between the plate and frame, and I don't think that is a good situation.
