It wasn't a repair technician. It was a state inspector. (Or state technician) An employee of the State of Vermont. (Deeper pockets if one were to pursue a claim)
In addition based on how the post was written, the AS owner told him after the inspector lifted the trailer by the axle.
Tombomb68 - that was the incorrect way to lift your trailer. The correct way to lift is using the area marked for lifting the trailer. It is reinforced there to be able to handle lifting the trailer. The axle tube that contains the rubber torsion spring is not designed for that type of stress. It is too thin.
If there is damage it will show up as abnormal tire wear. Or as the trailer's inability to handle the load during towing. The length of the internal rubber spring determines how much load capacity. Higher rated axle, the longer the rubber rods inside. If the axle tube is crushed pinching the rubber rods that can effectively reduce the load capacity of the axle. OR if the axle tube is bent (or straightened) there is an alignment issue that will show up as tire wear. The axle has a slight bend in it when brand new. If by any means that bend is straightened or changed ... excessive tire wear would be a result.
