A utility vehicle and vehicle mover that is power propelled, and may be moved by an individual to both lift and transport extremely heavy vehicles, such as trailers, when the vehicle has been disconnected from its prime mover. In one embodiment, the mover includes an adjustable power lifting means that may extend a distance under the trailer tongue for increased stability. In another embodiment, the mover mechanism is integral with the trailer tongue itself.

A trailer having linkage members connected to its drawbar for tilting the trailer bed when its wheels are held stationary and the drawbar is moved. The invention is embodied in an expandable camper trailer having a roof portion hinged to the trailer bed at the rearward end thereof. In this camper trailer embodiment the drawbar is connected to a forklike extension which has sections disposed adjacent the sides of the trailer bed, and which operates on a plurality of linkages to force the trailer roof upward and the bed downward, at their forward ends. Opening of the camper trailer is effected when a pulling force is applied to the drawbar, while blocking the wheels against movement. In another embodiment the trailer is tilted downward at its rearward end to facilitate the loading of cattle or heavy equipment on the trailer. In this embodiment the drawbar is formed of telescoping sections and is moved rearwardly, while the wheels are held stationary, thereby causing a linkage attached thereto to push the forward end of the trailer upwardly.

A VEHICLE FOR USE IN AN INTERMODAL CONTAINERIZED CARGO SYSTEM COMPRISED OF A FREIGHT CARRYING SUBSTANTIALLY RECTANGULAR CONTAINER MEANS VERTICALLY COUPLED TO TWO ADAPTER OR CHASSIS FRAMES WHICH ARE THEMSELVES RELEASEABLY CONNECTED TOGETHER IN HORIZONTAL LONGITUDINAL END-TO-END RELATIONSHIP, A PAIR OF WHEELED BOGIES MOUNTED FOR SLIDING LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT BETWEEN SAID ADAPTER FRAMES, AND A LANDING GEAR AND A KINGPIN MOUNTED ON EACH FRAME IN POSITIONS TO ALLOW MOVEMENT OF THE BOGIES. THE ADAPTER FRAMES MAY BE COUPLED TOGETHER FORMING A FIRST CONFIGURATION TANDEM AXLE SEMI-TRAILER CARRYING A CONTAINER MEANS COMPRISING TWO SEPARATE VAN SIZE CARGO CONTAINERS IN END-TO-END ABUTTING RELATIONSHIP, MAY BE COUPLED TOGETHER FORMING A SECOND CONFIGURATION TANDEM AXLE SEMI-TRAILER CARRYING A CONTAINER MEANS COMPRISING TWO VAN SIZE CARGO CONTAINERS WHICH ARE THEMSELVES COUPLED TOGETHER HORIZONTALLY IN END-TO-END RELATIONSHIP TO FORM A UNITARY DUAL CONTAINER WHICH SPANS BOTH ADAPTER FRAMES, OR MAY BE COUPLED TOGETHER FORMING A THIRD CONFIGURATION TANDEM AXLE SEMI-TRAILER CARRYING A CONTAINER MEANS COMPRISING A SINGLE VAN SIZE CARGO CONTAINER APPROXIMATELY EQUAL IN OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS TO THE CONTAINER MEANS OF THE SECND CONFIGURATION AND SPANNING BOTH ADAPTER FRAMES. WHEN THE ADAPTER FRAMES FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND CONFIGURATIONS, THE ADAPTER FRAMES MAY BE UNCOUPLED AND THEIR CONTAINERS SEPARATED TO FORM TWO SINGLE BODY, SINGLE AXLE SEMI-TRAILERS.
