Dunno Never tried it with one of these.
Actually your problem reminded me of when I had a similar situation in my
younger days. I solved it using the method I described below. It wasn't
pretty.............

Attach a stout chain to the chassis of the unit on the hauler. Take the
other end of the chain and attach it to something really immobile. Get in
the hauler and put in low gear then stomp on the gas pedal.
It works every time!! (well almost anyhow)

I don't think it's a stupid question. Other suggestions already posted are
good. There's another option, too: Lift them off, one end at a time, with a
commercial wrecker. That's how we unloaded my M543A2 5-ton wrecker when no
loading ramps were available.
1) The commercial wrecker picked up the back end of my truck with it's axle
lift.
2) The truck driver pulled hte tractor/trailer forward until the front
wheels
of my truck were at the back edge of the trailer.
3) The wrecker lowered my truck to the ground, so the rear wheels were on
the
ground and the fronts were on the trailer.
4) The wrecker pulled around and lifted up the front end of my truck with
its
crane.
5) The truck driver pulled the trailer out the rest of the way.
6) The wrecker lowered my truck to the ground.
When my Gama Goat arrived, I did the same thing, using my own wrecker. The
lockout truss was installed on the goat so it wouldn't bend in the middle.
