Publication number: 20080073937Abstract: An enclosed trailer with a base, with a shell attached to the base wherein the shell forms a front wall and opposing side walls of the trailer. A rear door is hingeably connected to the base and the rear door forms the rear wall of the trailer when in a vertical position and forms a ramp when in a roughly horizontal position. A roof is hingeably connected to the trailer and the roof can elevate above the trailer in an open position, and lower to abut the trailer walls in a closed position. The roof can have a lifting element to assist in elevating the roof. A hatch is hingeably connected to the trailer and is positioned on the front wall. A lifting element can be attached to the hatch and the trailer to assist in the opening and closing of the hatch.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2006Publication date: March 27, 2008Applicant: Loran A.
