ABSTRACT:
A trailer is provided in the form of a container having side walls (20, 21, 22) and a movable base (23) which can be raised and lowered within the side walls under control of a ram (25). Thus the height of the base can be adjusted as a crop or product begins to fill the space available above the base in a raised position and by this means the extent of drop of the crop or product into the container can be made as small as possible so that the possibility of damage is significantly reduced. The base can be supported by scissor arms (27, 28) and can also be locked in the lower position to the container walls so that when the ram (25) is operated the walls and base will be tilted together about a pivot (32) for unloading.
