ABSTRACT:
A trailer construction, which in a first configuration is adapted for transporting a pair of intermodular containers. The trailer comprises a front section having a hitch means for attaching the trailer to a towing vehicle and a longitidinal, generally horizontally aligned upper deck portion. A drop frame section extends rearwardly of the front section, and includes ground engageable support wheels and a longitudinal generally horizontal lower deck portion, wherein the lower deck is a distance below the said upper deck. Pedestal means are mounted on the drop frame section, and are movable between first and second positions. The pedestal means in the first position includes first support means above the lower deck portion, for supporting the rear end of a first said container to maintain the container substantially horizontal when the front end of the container is supported on said upper deck; and the lower deck portion extends rearwardly of said pedestal means, and is of at least sufficient length to carry a second container thereupon, the front end of which is supported at said pedestal means. When the pedestal means is in its said second position, it is substantially flush with the lower deck portion, permitting carrying of a single container which is entirely positioned upon the lower deck.
