ABSTRACT:
A trailer apparatus includes movable and demountable structures which adapt the trailer for use with large planar sheets of material as well as more conventional loads such as cartons, drums and palletized articles. The trailer includes a plurality of parallel A-frame supports spaced longitudinally along the central portion of the trailer for receiving the planar material. Transversely oriented bars longitudinally restrain the material and straps extending downwardly from the top of the support laterally restrain it. The upper portion of the A-frame supports, as well as the bars and straps are removable. A pair of hinged panels selectively form a trailer floor in the central portion thereof. The sidewalls of the trailer are fixed. The roof is movable to permit loading and unloading of the planar material from above and conventional rear trailer doors provide access therethrough for loading and unloading conventional cargo such as palletized material, cartons, and drums.
