ABSTRACT:
A trailer for hauling and for delivery to a number of different delivery sites, automotive exhaust system parts, such as mufflers, pre-bent tail pipes and the like packed in large shipping containers, and, also, bundles of numerous straight tube lengths, is provided with a normally closed cabinet attached beneath its floor between its rear road wheels and its forward tractor connecting fifth wheel. The cabinet is divided into longitudinally elongated bins, each of about the same length as the straight tubes, for receiving and holding the bundles of straight tubes in longitudinal arrangement relative to the trailer axis. The sides of the bins are openable so that the tube bundles can be inserted and removed in a transverse direction relative to the trailer axis. A fork truck is releasably mounted upon the rear end of the trailer for use in unloading tube bundles in a transverse direction out of the bins at different delivery sites. The lengths of the containers are dimensionally close to the width of the trailer so that the containers are arranged transversely of the trailer axis for filling a substantial portion of the interior of the trailer during hauling. The containers are removable from the rear of the trailer by using a manual dolly carried within the trailer to move the containers to the rear of the trailer where the containers may be removed and carried by the fork truck at their respective delivery sites.
