Abstract: The disclosure relates generally to a cargo platform designed to be used in connection with a trailer hitch and, more particularly, to a cargo platform designed to be collapsible. A cargo platform has an open position and a closed position. The cargo platform includes a frame with a front portion, a rear portion, first and second stationary side portions coupled to the front portion, first and second rotatable side portions, a first hinge element to rotatably could the first rotatable side portion to the rear portion, a second hinge element to rotatably could the second rotatable side portion to the rear portion, and a foldable floor. The foldable floor includes a first floor, second floor rotatably connected to the first floor, and a third floor rotatably connected to the second floor. The first floor is coupled to the front portion. The third floor is coupled to the rear portion.

Abstract: A remotely-engaging handle for a fifth wheel hitch system is provided. The remotely-engaging handle may comprise a body and a latching assembly that may be securely attached to the body and capable of engaging with a fifth wheel hitch. The latching assembly may comprise a locking member and an actuating member. The actuation of the actuating member may position a portion of the locking member from an unlocked position to a locked position. The locking member may comprise a latching arm rotating about a pivot point and a biasing member operatively attached the body. The biasing member may bias the locking member into a transitory position. In one embodiment, the actuating member may further comprise an electrically-operated button or a software-based interface. In particular embodiment, the locking member may further actuated by a solenoid and the connecting member may further comprise a wireless device.
