Abstract

A hauling trailer particularly suited to the transport of scrap such as crushed and flattened vehicles includes a floor with walls and one open side, and a retractable wall structure for closing off the open side during transport. The wall structure, which may be flexible, rigid, or partitioned, is preferably retracted by raising and lowering a barrier from a member supported above the open side. To provide greater access to the open side during loading, a separate mechanism is provided for raising and lowering the member independent of the wall structure. The member may, for example, form part of a generally c-shaped lid structure, with the separate mechanism moving the lid structure between a lowered and raised position.
