Year talk of the above; now its really in plain sight of what is going on 
You keep watching little videos like that matey; just keep watching the show, peeping the curtains and having a good old $ at the lad who are working hard out side in the rain and cold to fix your unit so you can be back on the road and out of that $ hole that you have been parked up in all weekend with no water, electric, heating or sewage
Yes there are! but you no need to concern your self with that for now
So its like that time again mattey? Childish little not telling ner ner stories because of some deemed up idea not to help coz cant help coz dont realy know enough to help
This RickOJones is just a low IQ, wind up merchant, just ignore the clown.
RickO can I please have the number for your dealer! 
There was one not long back in one of the A50 laybys towards Uttoxeter. Had the wheels off one side and the drums pulled. Was there a good while lol
Tyres these days have a date of manufacture printed on the tyre wall.
After a set time (think itâs 10 years)they have to be replaced even if they have legal tread left.
All because few years back a coach had a accident caused by tyres.
The tyres were legal but that old they just failed or what ever.
Almost correct. That applies to steer axle tyres only.
Tyres deteriorate with age as well as wear and tear.
The date of manufacture is given in a 4 digit code first two figures are the week, second two the year. Tyres made today would be marked 3625. Anything similar to â â 15 is about the end of life.
Is that what it is?
Just had 3 posts adressed to me by this guy.
Sorry but can anybody interpret them for me?
And why does he keeps mentioning US dollars.
Itâs like some kind of weird code.
But at least heâs stopped calling me Mattty.
(I get the jist btw he aint happy.
)
So much bitternessâŚit would have been far easier if he had just told me to go and â â â â myselfâŚat least then I would have known exactly wtf he was slavering about.

Thick ainât in it, hic.
What a div. âYou can lead a horse to water but you canât make it drink.â
great! thanks for letting me know, rubber perishes like anything that comes off of a tree i guess
Thanks again! will go and check
I think i have put air in the trailer now! the compressor was set to 100psi and blew at that. with the compressor pipe connect the the red/ emergency line, there is a slight hissing noise coming from I think one of the tanks near the axels. with the air compressor pipe disconnected there is no hissing sound what so ever
But the suspesion dose not go up! is this on the red or yellow line by any chance?
Thanks
All sweetness and light and âthank youâ now he wants to know something; tell him something he doesnât want to hear and the toys come out of the pram along with loads of abuse.
It is what we are not being told about this little scheme which is probably the most concerning aspect given the OPâs attitude and the plain lack of appreciation of the risks viz:
Wow, the penny has finally dropped. Yes, old tyres are dangerous as are newer tyres with hidden defects. The date code is not the over- riding issue. Tyres that have been left immobile long term outdoors and/or partially deflated are the same, as can be deflated suspension airbags. And yes, I have had an airbag explode while I was underneath a trailer. I do know what happens and what can happen.
No one can guess without being present whether any aspect of this scheme is safe, we have to weigh up what we know, versus what the OP knows and we know about him, and be guided by that. Given what we have read from the OP, all the evidence is pointing only one way.
Stored energy is dangerous, which is why DVSA MOT inspectors are taught not to tap certain things with their tapping hammer.
If the OP wants to risk injuring or killing himself or someone else, then sadly it is better that be as a result of his own ignorance, rather than a misunderstanding of what a well-meaning reader on the internet had advised.
Leave the job to someone who knows what they are doing.

Would a standard size ratchet straps tow the weight of the trailer???
From a technical point of view it would be interesting to try to give an answer to this but we canât because so many values needed for the equation are unknown, or based on assumptions we cannot be sure are correct in the particular circumstances.
Among other factors, to give an answer we need to know: coefficient of friction, rolling resistance and gradient resistance. So far we have to assume that the trailer is empty and on clean, level, smooth tarmac and it will only be moved in a straight line. Some, or all of those assumptions are probably untrue. Deviate from a straight pull parallel to the ground and it gets a lot more complicated with curve resistance and possibly a vertical component becoming involved.
What we do know however is that the brakes may be binding and the tyres are possibly under- inflated. If, as it seems, we are doing away with the forklift adapter idea, then the landing legs will be relevant, even if they have wheels we need to account for the resistance created by those wheels. An 8mm stone underneath a landing leg wheel may well upset the apple cart.
However we can disregard all of the above as irrelevant because load restraint straps are very clearly marked: NOT FOR LIFTING.
We tried moving it today with folk lift truck, I released the shunt vale and brakes are stuck, i then relised the park brake and still the brakes are stuck
