ABSTRACT:
The skid device of the present invention includes two skid plates having a rectangular configuration. Each of the skid plates are mounted underneath a flatrack container along an underside longitudinal edge portion of the flatrack. The mounting to the underside is through a plurality of linkages having one end secured to the top of each of the skid and the second end secured to the underside of the flatracker container. The linkages are dimensioned and provided with a drive for progressively lowering the skid whereby the flatrack container rests on the skids when so desired. Locks are provided whereby the linkages may be locked at one of several altitudes. The drive also returns the skid to its folded position in confronting relationship with the underside of the flatrack container and the latter rests on two beams spaced from a longitudinal centerline of the flatrack container. The drive is generally disposed to drive the respective linkages of both skids simultaneously.
