ABSTRACT:
A platform trailer comprises a plurality of extruded aluminum floor boards, which are approximately four inches in thickness centrally of the trailer. The floor boards transversely outward of the center portion taper to a thickness of approximately 21/2 inches at the side edges of the trailer platforms. The floor boards have top and bottom panels which are joined by angularly disposed webs. The floor boards have mating welded edges that are joined to form a continuous horizontal substantially planar platform. A floor board spaced inwardly from each side edge of the platform has a downwardly extending web portion on the bottom thereof to which the web portion of an inverted T-shaped longitudinal frame member is secured. Pockets are welded in openings through the top and bottom panels of the transversely outermost floor boards for the acceptance of stakes in any desired longitudinally spaced relation. The transversely outermost floor boards are provided with openings spaced along the length thereof for access to a wood filler member secured therein to permit nailing to the platform.
