Abstract:
A highway trailer carrier (C ) as a support base (20), front and back lift braces (60) attached to the support base, and at least one trailer support (40) attached to the support base for supporting part of the trailer. The support is attachable to the trailer and collapsible so that it does not interfere during loading and unloading. The support base further has wheel wells (32) and anchors (50) for securing the trailer to the support base. Both the support base and the lift braces include mounting fixtures (70) for securing the carrier to other carrier(s) and/or cargo containers, for instance, using a stacking device(s) with twist locks that engage and lock onto the mounting fixtures. Figure 13 demonstrates the stacking of multiple carriers with other cargo containers.
