ABSTRACT:
A monocoque transport trailer of the invention has a monocoque body shell of unitary construction including sides, top and floor. The trailer has wheel wells and provisions for doors and windows in the shell. The trailer is constructed using standard monocoque unitary molding principles and processes. Of particular importance is the attachment of independent axle and suspension equipment to the underside of the trailer by plate braces and specialty epoxies, so that support wheel assemblies are mounted in molded wheel wells. The monocoque construction provides sufficient strength and rigidity as that of an independent chassis or undercarriage platform.
