A trailer having a plurality of elongate floor members, each of the floor members connected to an adjacent floor member to define a floor of the trailer, side wall members attached to opposed sides of the floor, an axle assembly attached to the side wall members, and a tongue assembly attached to the side wall members.

Trailer

The disclosure relates to a trailer for hauling tyres. The trailer includes a frame having a front end, a rear end and a pair of parallel elongate chassis rails. The trailer also includes one or more pairs of transverse rails, each pair of transverse rails being adapted to support one or more tyres in an upstanding position thereon. Each pair of transverse rails is longitudinally translatable with respect to the elongate chassis rails between the front and rear ends of the frame. Each transverse rail in the pair is independently longitudinally translatable with respect to the elongate chassis rails so that the spacing of the pair of transverse rails may be varied to suit a tyre diameter. The trailer is also provided with a tyre stillage associated with each pair of transverse rails for supporting one or more upstanding tyres thereagainst.

CHASSIS FOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLES HAVING A TRANSPORT AREA FOR A FLUID STORAGE VESSEL
20230098463 · 2023-03-30 · ·

A recreational vehicle may include a chassis, an axle assembly, a floor, and a vehicle body enclosing living quarters. A fluid storage vessel may be supported in the chassis. The chassis may include a first and a second longitudinal chassis member each having an upper and lower edge, and an inner and outer face. Cross members have a first and second ends connected to the first and second chassis member, respectively. The cross members have an upper and lower edges extending between the ends. The cross members have an end height at the ends and a midsection height that is greater than the end height. A transport area extends longitudinally between two cross members, transversely between inner faces of the longitudinal chassis members, and vertically between upper and lower edges of the cross members. The fluid storage vessel is disposed in the transport area.

Method and apparatus for invisible vehicle underbody view

The present application relates to a method and apparatus for generating a graphical user interface indicative of a vehicle underbody view including a LIDAR operative to generate a depth map of an off-road surface, a camera for capturing an image of the off-road surface, a chassis sensor operative to detect an orientation of a host vehicle, a processor operative to generate an augmented image in response to the depth map, the image and the orientation, wherein the augmented image depicts an underbody view of the host vehicle and a graphic representative of a host vehicle suspension system, and a display operative to display the augmented image to a host vehicle operator. A static and dynamic model of the vehicle underbody is compared vs the 3-D terrain model to identify contact points between the underbody and terrain are highlighted.

Trailer Tandem Pin Device
20230121386 · 2023-04-20 ·

The present invention relates to a trailer tandem pin device primarily comprised of at least one vertical member that is fixedly or removably attached to at least one horizontal member. The horizontal member is attached perpendicular to the vertical member, wherein the horizontal member has at least one notch that engages the inner surface of a rail hole of a trailer tandem. The notch prevents the device from falling out of the rail hole, thereby securing the tandem.

ELECTRIC SELF-STEER WAGON TRAILER
20230068557 · 2023-03-02 ·

Electric, self-steer wagon-trailers may be provided. A trailer-to-tow vehicle electric, power-sharing booster system may extend the towing electric vehicle (EV) battery life/travel range. A high voltage, battery module recharge system may be provided that is compatible with standard, electric grid EV recharge connectors. A wagon style, highway speed, self-steer front axle system may eliminate trailer-to-vehicle vertical hitch load on the tow vehicle, which increases trailer and tow vehicle stability thus, increasing towing efficiencies and safety.
