摘要： A trailer comprising a chassis, a set of wheels for rollably supporting the chassis on the ground, and a rigid container carried by the chassis. The rigid container comprises a floor, a sidewall, an access door for loading/unloading materials into the container, and a convertible rigid roof. The convertible roof is movable between a closed position which permits waste or other materials to be compressed into the trailer, and an open position which permits the trailer to be loaded with bulk goods from the top. The convertible roof includes movable rigid panels, and a locking bar for holding the panels closed and connecting the opposite sidewalls of the trailer to each other against the expansion pressure exerted by loosely compressed materials transported in the trailer. The panels may be rotating panels hinged to a wall, or may be provided as sliding panels running in tracks.

摘要： A kingpin assembly includes an aluminum frame member (16) formed of two identical extrusions. Each extrusion includes a box beam (18, 20) having a top (40) three vertical walls (42, 44, 46) and a bottom (47) including forward and rearward flanges. The forward extrusion includes a box beam (18), a rearward bottom flange (28) and a forward bottom flange (30). The rearward extrusion includes a box beam (20) a rearward bottom flange (24) and a forward bottom flange (26). Each box beam extrusion is positioned end-for-end from the other box beam extrusion. A steel kingpin (KP) is connected to an aluminum kingpin mounting block (36) which is positioned at the center of the frame member (16) between the box beams (18, 20). The box beam extrusions are welded together by a single transverse weld (W). The forward bottom flange (30) on the forward extrusion is connected to a forward panel (60) by a single longitudinal weld (W). The aluminum kingpin mounting block (36) is flanked by a pair of longitudinal channel beams (32, 34) which at their ends are connected to the box beams (18, 20).

摘要： The sidewalls of a truck/trailer box are constructed from a plurality of panels (10, 12, 14) which are welded together where their vertical edges meet (82, 88, 90). The panels (10, 12, 14) are each extrusions and each includes thin side skins (24, 26 and 48, 50 and 56, 58) and thin webs (28, 52, 60). The top panel (10) may be formed to include an integral top rail (34). The bottom panel (14) may be formed to include one or two side rails (18, 18′ and 120). The regions that need to be welded are made thick enough to be welded. Other regions are too thin to be welded. The overall construction is lightweight and quite strong and facilitates construction of the truck/trailer box.
