If the snow accumulation approaches two feet, or if the snow is excessively wet and heavy at one foot, you should remove the snow from the roof.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to close the trailer with snow accumulation on the roof. One inch of dry snow adds 40-60 pounds to the weight of the top. The added weight could cause the top to fall suddenly while being closed, causing personal injury or
trailer damage.”

But that doesn’t say whether that’s open or closed. That’s a lot of weight on the lift arms and the roof.

Thank you. I doubt it will get to 1 foot but it’s always possible. Wasn’t expecting the truck to be out of commission this long, nor this snow this weekend. Should have the truck back tomorrow, but I’ve been saying that for 3 weeks!!! I have a snow rake that I can bring with me to clear the roof before I shut her down.
