Claim:
A motor cycle trailer comprising a main wheel axle and two trailer beams; a hinge mechanism adjoining adjacent ends of said trailer beams, said hinge permitting the trailer beams to move from a mutually folded position to an unfolded position and vice-versa, and thus the trailer from a folded position to an unfolded position; said trailer beams being aligned lengthways in the unfolded position; members attached to towards adjacent ends of the trailer beams, said members comprising plates mounted on the side of the trailer beams towards adjacent ends of said trailer beams; pairs of said members in the unfolded position clamping the main axle between them; each of said plates having a cut out on an edge aligned with the end of the trailer beams; said cut outs corresponding to part of the outside perimeter of the axle and in the unfolded position being around such part of the axle; pairs of such plates, one on one beam and the other on the other beam, cooperating with each other to form a clamp around the axle and in which the axle is contained between the cut outs when the trailer is in its unfolded position; the main axle in the unfolded position being transverse to the trailer beams.
