Abstract
A trailer body (600) and pedestal (604) are provided where the pedestal supports an axle assembly (605) which is pivotally secured to the pedestal so that when the pedestal is in the forward position to permit trailer dumping, the axle assembly pivots about the pedestal to keep all wheels (612) on the ground. A safety plate (630) can be mounted between a frame and pedestal to prevent structure from being wedged between the transverse beams of the frame and pedestal as the pedestal slides relative to the frame. Also, a striker plate (616) is employed to prevent a locking wedge (622) from interfering with movement of the pedestal relative to the frame until the pedestal is either in the rearward position or in the forward position. A fender structure (614) is provided which acts as a fender when the pedestal is in the rearward position, but is not damaged as the pedestal moves to the forward position.
