folding utility trailer

This is a little different.

Folding utility trailer - but it folds up over its' own hitch. Says it is only 380lbs empty... seems light considering that supposedly is including the wheels and tires?

And that SUV they use in the video has to have air shocks or something, it barely moves when they lift the trailer.

Interesting idea, not sure how useful. Seems like the light weight folding trailers from Home Depot and others might be more convenient?

If someone could post a picture or the video in the link that would be great.

    Yes Sir my thought was I would drop the drill through the rear hatch window when folding the trailer up

    And worst of all is the maddening pain of trying to back up a short trailer. I have one for occasional use and curse it every time. I usually end up unhitching and backing it up my narrow driveway by hand.

    Just my 2¢

    It has no practical use other than driving around showing off a folding trailer.

    Here is the demo video.

    Apparently, you just leave the sides behind when you drive off...
