| 20080211218 | Platform trailer with extruded floor panel cross members - In accordance with one aspect of the present development, a platform trailer includes a chassis comprising first and second aluminum beams each including an upper flange and a lower flange connected by a web. The first and second beams are arranged parallel to each other and each extend from a forward end to a rear end in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the trailer. The first and second beams are each defined with an arch comprising an upwardly oriented apex located between the forward and rear ends. At least one axle assembly connected to the chassis and includes a left wheel and tire assembly and a right wheel and tire assembly. A platform is supported on the first and second beams of the chassis. The platform includes spaced-apart left and right side rails and a plurality of extruded aluminum panels that each extend from a left lateral end abutted with said left side rail to a right lateral end abutted with said right side rail. Each of the panels comprises an upper wall, a lower wall spaced-apart from the upper wall, and first and second spaced-apart end walls that are connected to and extend between the upper and lower walls. The extruded aluminum panels are abutted in series with the first end wall of one panel abutted with the second end wall of an adjacent abutted panel such that the respective upper walls of adjacent abutted panels of the platform together define an upper, cargo supporting surface of the platform. The platform is arched to correspond with the arch of the first and second beams. A method for constructing the platform trailer is also disclosed. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080231034 | HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE FRAME - A primary frame for a heavy-duty vehicle includes a pair of spaced-apart, parallel, elongated and longitudinally extending main members. Each one of a pair of hangers is attached to and depends below a respective one of the main members. An axle/suspension system is mounted on the hangers. A vertically disposed brace structure extends between and is attached to the hangers or, alternatively, to both the hangers and the main members. The brace structure includes a hanger cross member disposed perpendicularly between the hangers and a pair of inclined members each of which extend between and are attached to the hanger cross member and a respective one of the main members or an upper wing of a respective one of the hangers. The brace structure efficiently dissipates loads from the axle/suspension system into the primary frame adjacent the hangers and eliminates the need for additional cross members within the frame. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20100090453 | TRAILER FOR CARRYING A WELDING UNIT FOR BUTT-WELDING PIPE PORTIONS - Trailer for carrying a welding unit for butt-welding pipe portions, comprising a chassis with brackets for supporting and locking the body of a welding unit for butt-welding pipe portions, the chassis being provided with at least one pair of steered wheels, which can be oriented by means of a drawbar, and at least one pair of driving wheels, which are actuated by an electric motor, which in turn is powered by a current generator which is provided, together with the associated internal-combustion engine, on board the trailer; the chassis also supports a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic unit to which the hydraulic components of the body of the welding unit are to be connected, and an electrical unit for connecting the electrical devices with which the welding unit is provided; the chassis is provided with a fuel tank for the internal-combustion engine and an oil tank for the pump, the hydraulic unit and the hydraulic components of the welding unit connected to the pump; in this manner, the welding unit can be moved in the building yard fully autonomously. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100096845 | Off-road mobile services self-powered trailer with redundant power supply - A mobile trailer unit including an integrated self-contained, independent power systems and each unit being constructed and configured with a reinforced frame and all-terrain mobility suspension and traction systems, further including a superior insulated envelope construction for providing interior temperature management, including effective cooling or heating capabilities even in extreme temperature conditions. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100320739 | ATV utility trailer with pivoting and extendable tongue and brush guard - A trailer with a pivoting and extendable tongue for use with all terrain vehicles (ATV) wherein the trailer tongue connects to a standard vehicle hitch receiver providing means for pivoting the trailer up in a raised transport or storage space saving configuration supported by the ATV or other vehicle receiver. The tongue is telescoping so that it can be shortened before raising the trailer to the space saving position. The ball mount pivot device on the ATV trailer tongue includes two plates, one attached to each side of the mount. The plates include holes for the attachment of the trailer's tongue in a vertical attitude for space saving transport. Two pins hold the tongue vertically in the plates. Removal of the pins allows the trailer to be rotated downward from a vertical position to a horizontal position for towing behind a vehicle such as an ATV. The tongue includes a ball receiving member mounted on the distal end of the tongue for engagement with a ball extending from the ball mount. The wheels are provided with heavy duty fenders which can be pivotally mounted on the wheel axles to function as sled runners. Most important support members extend from the axles to a selected point under the trailer frame at a selected angle in front of the wheels to function as brush guards so that the wheels are not caught in brush, hung on stumps, or deep gullies. A keeper can be removed to allow the fenders to be rotated forward and down to be used as sled runners when the ATV is towing a load in the snow. In this position, the keepers are re-installed to keep the fenders in the sled runner position. The wheels are also positioned under the trailer bed to extend pass the frame to allow the trailer to be backed over objects such as logs or gullies. | 12-23-2010 |
