With ridged type trailers, such as tanks, loaded heavy, they don't twist much, before they start cracking. Flats, & even to some extent dry vans, are not that much of a problem on uneven ground. The articulated 5th wheel though, usually raises the trailer some.

Commercial 5th wheel plates that articulate are required here, if an owner/opporater wants to pull North to the Beach (Prudhoe Bay), pulling tanks. That type of 5th wheel, articulating, is available commercially, with a slider! I can't help thinking that those 5th wheels, aren't made...

Commercial sliders should be common place items, and come contained, on their own plate. Some will have an air locking mechanism, that just requires an air switch, and supply.
