French Trailer Drops Down Flat For Easy Loading
A reader alerted us to an online video of a flatbed trailer with wheels that move automatically to the back of the trailer so it can lie flat on the ground, making it easier to load and unload cargo (www.Vimeo.com/61723398).
    Quivogne UK is the British distributor for the “Plat-O-Sol”, which is built by French manufacturer Perard.
    The UK website (www.quivogne.co.uk/PlatOSol.html) describes it as a strong and robust trailer that carries up to 10 tons on a bed up to 28 ft. long. To unload, the wheels hydraulically move to the rear and pivot upwards, which lowers the trailer bed to the ground. At the same time, the drawbar on the tractor is lowered to keep the bed parallel.
