Patent ID: 6964427

Claim:
A trailer transported behind a towing vehicle comprising: an elongated load carrying bed having front and rear ends; an elongated member connecting the trailer to the towing vehicle so that an adjacent front end of the bed is spaced from the towing vehicle to permit pivotal movement of the bed intermediate the ends sufficient for the front end to attain accessibility substantially free of obstruction while the elongated member remains substantially stationary and the towing vehicle remains connected to the bed at an angular position thereto sufficient to obtain said accessibility; a linear actuator pivotally moving the bed to said angular position with respect to the elongated substantially stationary member imparting horizontal pivotal movement to the bed thereby attaining accessibility of the end free of obstruction after forward movement during transport is terminated; a stop member limiting pivotal movement between the bed and the elongated member during towing thereby maintaining alignment of the bed and the towing vehicle during transport; and an end member opening and closing a said adjacent end of the bed.
