When unloading a trailer that is not attached to a tractor with a forklift what should you do?
If it's a trailer with sliding tandems, ensure that the tandems are slid all the way to the rear. Then, you place a dolly jack under the front of the trailer and raise if up to the bottom of the trailer. This prevents the trailer from pivoting on the landing gear and tipping forward under the weight of the forklift.
How is a trailer attached to a tractor?
Depends on what type of tractor and trailer you had in mind. For a farm tractor pulling a trailer, it's usually a pintle on the tractor which is run through a clevice on the trailer.

In the case of an 18 wheeler, air lines will connect from the tractor to the trailer to operate the trailer's air brake system.
