ABSTRACT:
A trailer for transporting a container provided with lifting holes is disclosed. The trailer has a generally U-shaped frame, the front thereof being provided with a hitch for removably attaching the trailer to a tractor, the generally U-shaped frame being shaped and sized to receive the container therein, the frame being provided with wheels on each side thereof. The trailer also includes a plurality of retractable lifting members, each retractable lifting member being positioned proximate a lifting hole of the container when the container is received within the frame, the retractable lifting members being movable between an inoperative position where the lifting members are disengaged from the lifting holes, and an operative position where the lifting members engage the lifting holes and are extendable to lift the container. A controller is also provided for controlling the lifting members. The trailer of the present invention is useful for dropping and picking up containers at locations where containers could not previously be located.
