That would seem to put a tremendous sideways stress on the truck's receiver and frame when turning as it has to swing the whole unit to the side. May be strong enough, but I don't think it was designed for that.
Web site says the tires stay parallel to the vehicle rear tires and those tires slide when turning. In a sharp turn backing into a tight space, I can see those tires skidding a lot. And with 2500-3000 pounds sitting on it!! Just doesn't sound too practical to me.
