    Abstract: A tilting flatbed trailer system for facilitating safe and efficient loading/unloading of cargo. The tilting flatbed trailer system includes a main frame, a plurality of end rollers rotatably attached to the main frame, a hydraulic cylinder attached to the main frame, a bed frame slidably positioned upon the main frame and connected to the hydraulic cylinders, and a plurality of support arms pivotally attached to the main frame and slidably connected to the bed frame. When the hydraulic cylinder is extended, the front of the bed frame is elevated and the bed frame simultaneously slides rearwardly thereby providing a low incline for loading/unloading cargo.
