ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for loading a container (250) onto a trailer (10) for transport by a vehicle (200) and for unloading the container from the trailer. The trailer includes a frame (32) mounted on two rear axles (36 and 38), a lift device (86) and front and rear securing pads (68 and 44). An adjustable and removable spider (122) is connected to the lift device and connects to the front end (250A) of the container to allow the lift device to move the container onto the trailer. To load the container, the spider is adjusted to the correct height by adjusting the length of the side members (126). Adaptors (154) can also be used for shorter containers. The lift device is extended and the spider is attached to the top and bottom corners (252 and 254) of the container. Securing chains (164) having lifting lugs (166) and are connected between the spider and the bottom corners of the container. The lift device is then retracted and the container is loaded onto the trailer. The container is locked on the securing pads by the locking mechanisms (56 and 78).
