Abstract

See full text

A trailer for transporting articles which, if laid flat, would cause the trailer to exceed the maximum highway width requirements imposed by state and federal highway regulations. The trailer includes a frame structure with a number of article spaces which slope continuously upward from a first, loading side to the opposite side of the trailer. Each article space is formed by a pair of rail subassemblies, each including a sloping transverse rail member with a first, lower end located in proximity to the trailer loading side and a second, upper end located in proximity to the trailer opposite side. Articles for which the trailer is designed include pick-up covers, which, if laid flat with their longitudinal axis perpendicular to that of the trailer, would exceed the highway maximums. With the pick-up covers loaded into the continuously sloped spaces, the trailer meets the highway standards.
