ABSTRACT:
A bogie slide for re-positioning the rear wheels of a tractor trailer unit includes a carriage movably mounted on tracks for movement between stops. The trailer is backed onto the carriage, i.e. the rear wheels of the trailer are positioned on the carriage against a pair of wheel chocks, the pins holding the rear wheel bogies of the trailer are removed, and the trailer is moved with the carriage against one of the stops. As the trailer continues to move rearwardly, the wheels, bogies and carriage remain stationary, so that the wheels and bogie are moved forwardly along the base of the trailer.
