ABSTRACT:
A semi-trailer for transport of recyclable materials including a wheeled undercarriage having a platform mounted thereon with dimensions sufficient for stacking a plurality of crushed vehicles thereon. A contained area having an open top is bounded by a fixed sidewall having front and rear end walls attached perpendicular thereto, and a second sidewall pivotably mounted for movement between a closed position parallel to the fixed sidewall and a raised position above the platform. The second sidewall is supported by front and rear upper segments extending adjacently above and pivotably connected to respective front and rear end walls, for clamshell movement relative to the platform. Hydraulic members extend from mid-portions of front and rear end walls and connect to front and rear upper segments for raising the second sidewall to provide unhindered side access. The second sidewall is moved to the closed position for contained transport of recyclable materials over public roads.
