RFC -- suggestion for a minor edit

This "request for comments" /slash "suggestion for a minor edit" is based on the "22:01, 19 April 2018" version of this article (Lowboy (trailer)) -- [the version that was the latest, "as of" the date (04:28, 9 December 2018 (UTC)) when this section was originally added to this "Talk:" page].

Apparent (minor) mistake in the text

The last sentence of the first "bullet point" (like a paragraph) in the "Types" section there, says:

The neck is arched in such a way, that it when lowered, it becomes a ramp thus allowing the front tires of equipment to be pulled onto the deck.^[2]

The fact that the word "it" is present in two places in that sentence, seems to be an error. (right?)

I [or someone] will probably remove one of those two occurrences of the word it; (probably the first occurrence of it there); but first I wanted to give others the opportunity to chime in, either regarding

• which it should be kept, and which it should be deleted

OR, regarding anything else.

Any comments?

comments welcome. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 04:28, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
