ABSTRACT:
A trailer has an outer metal framework for supporting the trailer flatbed, and a series of upright sidewall sleeves mounted along each side of the flatbed frame. Each sidewall sleeve comprises a sheet piece rolled to form an elongated tubular section adjacent a generally planar flanged section extending laterally away from one side of the tubular section. The flanged sections of the sidewall sleeves are rigidly attached to the flatbed framework, and provide means for bolting the trailer side panels in place. The tubular sections of the sidewall sleeves provide structural strength for the side panels and also provide a means for holding support struts for a canopy top which covers the trailer flatbed.
