Hensley Arrow: How does it REALLY work?

I'm confused: If it doesn't lock up on the trailer side, what explains the fellow in the video pushing on the side of Hensley model mock-up? Is he not pushing that hard?

Actually in my experience I know it doesn't lock, as I've seen the trailer moving somewhat, while not feeling it much in the TV. But I still wonder about that video & why it appears locked up.

Well, I think we talked about that video before, but bottom line: that video was a MARKETING video. 'nuff said. :)

I think we all agree (except for maybe Milt..hehe), that the Hensley does not lock up completely from the trailer's perspective. However, due to the way the linkages work (and several other factors), the Hensley has the effect of VIRTUALLY locking things up from the trailer side, in the sense that it would take an obscene amout of force for the trailer to induce even a little bit of pivoting either direction.

Is there an echo in here? Just how many times do I have to hear this before I get it!!?? LOL As marketing people know well, learning takes place through spaced repetition. That is, hearing or seeing something over & over, in various ways, many times, repeated & repeated again - well you get the idea.

Still would like to see that trailer mock-up on dollies - I'd buy the beer!
