Abstract

A utility trailer having outboard wheels, the trailer including a deck having a first height, a frame having an axle in which wheels attached to the axle have a second height, the second height extends a predetermined distance above the first height, opposed side panels are rotatably coupled to the frame, at least one of the opposed panels includes an opening having a third height, the third height being greater than the predetermined distance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention pertains to trailers intended to be towed by a motor vehicle. These trailers may be used for a variety of purposes including transporting luggage, materials, or sports machines. Such trailers are generally made from metal beams cut to the correct length and welded together and are commonly arranged with the deck over the wheels. Such trailers must be end loaded via a ramp or the like, or otherwise materials to be loaded must be lifted over the trailer sides. The arrangement of the deck over the wheels necessitates the deck to be elevated from the ground cit a height at least greater than the wheel height. In order to side load a trailer such as this, it is necessary to lift the materials onto the elevated deck. This can be impractical when loading heavy objects. Moreover, the elevated center of gravity when such a trailer is fully loaded may cause instability. A new trailer is therefore desired which permits a lower center of gr...
