ABSTRACT:
A trailer for transporting and storing recreational vehicles, such as three and four-wheeled motorcycle-type vehicles, is provided which comprises a substantially horizontally disposed lower frame assembly; wheel assemblies connected to and supporting the lower frame assembly; and an upper frame assembly spatially disposed above the lower frame assembly. The upper frame assembly is moveable between a substantially horizontally disposed first position and an angularly disposed second position. In the horizontally disposed first position the upper frame assembly is disposed a distance above the lower frame assembly so as to be substantially parallel with the lower frame assembly; and in the angularly disposed second position the upper frame assembly is angularly disposed above the first frame assembly such that a rearward end of the upper frame assembly is positioned substantially adjacent the lower frame assembly, in close proximity to a rearward end of the lower frame assembly. A winch assembly is supported by the lower frame assembly and connectable to a vehicle for selectively moving the vehicle to a loaded position on the upper frame assembly as the upper frame assembly pivots between the angularly disposed second position and the horizontally disposed first position, and for controllably releasing the vehicle to permit the vehicle to move to an unloaded position as the upper frame assembly pivots between the horizontally disposed first position and the angularly disposed second position.
