ABSTRACT:
A system embodied within an over-the-road trailer or other carrier for use when transporting frangible sheet material, such as sheets of glass, utilizes a frame, a side section hingedly connected to the frame and a frame structure attached to the side section. The frame includes a bed surface having two opposite side edges and a cutout opening out of at least one side edge of the bed surface. The side section includes a bed surface section and is hingedly connected to the frame for pivotal movement relative thereto between a first position at which the bed surface section is positioned within the cutout so that the bed surface and bed surface section collectively provide a bed for the system and a second position at which the bed surface section overlies and faces downwardly upon the bed surface of the frame. The frame structure is attached to the side section for movement therewith between the first and second positions so that when the side section is positioned in its first position, the frame structure is positioned in an out-of-the-way condition for use of the bed of the system and so that when the side section is in its second position, the frame structure extends generally upwardly from the side section for supporting frangible sheet material in a near-vertical orientation for transport.
