If that's a dump bed, raising it might help getting the front wheels on the ground...

As Albert Einstein said: "There are two things that are infinite in this world - the universe and stupidity. I'm not so sure about the universe."

and make sparks too! ;)

We used to have to turn our old 36 Chevy flat bed around and back up the hills because we had loaded too many hay bales trying to beat the rain. Reverse gear was also lower than granny low so it gave us a little more power

That's also how you got your Model T up the Grape Vine...

Coming down it in the late 60s riding with my dad was no picknick it had improved significantly by 1989 the first time I drove it in a truck

Though not recommended and may not comply with the local traffic regulations, they could have attached a two-wheel towing dolly under the rear end of the pipe to maintain the truck's balance and keep it stable.

That poor little half lorry simply does not have enough power reserves to make it to the top of the hill. Even if the pipe were supported by a dolly it still would not be able to climb such a steep grade all the way to the top
