Abstract
A trailer construction comprises a floor, a roof and a pair of sidewalls, wherein each of the sidewalls comprises a plurality of similar generally flat rectilinear side panels of predetermined thickness, width and height. These side panels are aligned in a side-by-side arrangement and a plurality of joining panels join and strengthen respective adjacent pairs of these side panels. Each of these joining panels includes at least a relatively flat, rectilinear joining portion of a predetermined thickness. Fasteners are also provided for coupling the joining panels to the respective adjacent pairs of side panels, the aggregate thickness of the side panels and the joining panels being minimized, so as to maximize the interior width of the trailer between the interior surfaces of the sidewalls. The trailer floor preferably includes a longitudinal convexity with respect to the trailer interior to encourage a substantially flat condition of the floor in response to an applied load. This avoids inward tilting of a first load member placed adjacent one sidewall to allow loading of a further load member without interference from the first load member, hence also maximizing usable interior width.
