ABSTRACT:
A retractable trailer enclosure system for use in covering at least part of the bed of a truck trailer having removable U-shaped bows vertically mounted thereon. The trailer enclosure system includes a flexible cover which may be retracted or extended to cover and uncover the trailer bed and goods positioned thereon. An elongated spindle is provided which is mounted to the trailer by a spindle mount assembly and can be used to wind and unwind the cover. The spindle is movably supported such that the cover extends vertically downwardly to a location below a surface of a trailer bed side when the cover is fully extended. The spindle may be moved along a generally arcuate extending path.
