No it doesn't. I have a front hoist (screw) that rotates horizontal when not in use. Then I use a automotive floor jack to lower the front down and then I have three ramps that go on the front of the trailer and the plane just rolls over the tongue of the trailer. Works great. Takes no time at all. I do have to unhook from my tow vehicle but that's the only negative.

How do you load it from the front? Doesn’t the hitch assembly get in the way of the nosewheel as you back it on?
