ABSTRACT:
A roll-off trailer includes an articulating hinge and at least one hydraulic cylinder associated therewith to control the relative movement of fore and aft sections between a first position wherein the fore and aft sections lie substantially in the same horizontal plane during container transport, and a second position wherein the fore and aft sections are articulated to facilitate container loading, unloading and dumping. A pair of fore and aft winches and appropriate cabling may be used to transfer containers on the leveled trailer bed, or alternatively, powered rollers and/or a slide assembly may be used. To assist in dumping and to facilitate loading and unloading in low-ceiling environments, the aft section may be fitted with an optional extensible tail section.
