ABSTRACT:
A standard-dimensioned, double-deck trailer capable of transporting six full-size cars and finding utility as well in the handling of general freight and merchandise, the latter to be loaded from either side or from the rear of the trailer. In addition to a floor, the trailer includes a deck which is hydraulically positionable as an inclined ramp for loading and unloading of vehicles carried on the deck, and which is adjustable to assume a horizontal mode during transport of the vehicles thereon. The deck can be elevated to an out-of-the-way storage position upon unloading of the vehicles, thus providing clear and unobstructed cargo space within the trailer for receiving freight for transport. The trailer frame is characterized in that it includes laterally spaced, elongatged beam assemblies which define inside beam elements disposed within the rear wheels of the trailer, and outside beam elements which extend along an outer margin of the frame at a forward end of the trailer. Special ramp devices are provided for enabling the trailer to serve as a transport for six full-size cars, and additional ramp mechanisms ensure that the space overlying the coupler section of the trailer may be effectively accessed and used for the storage of freight when the vehicles are not in transport.
