<p>The trailer (10) is a trailer (10) for a folding camper wherein an accommodation space is arranged to be folded out of the trailer (10) at a final destination. The present invention provides a modular hoist (40) which is stored within a hoist storage compartment (50) mounted on the trailer (10). The modular hoist (40) can be mounted to and secured to the trailer (10) and it can then be used to raise and lower the auxiliary equipment to or from upper securement rails (20, 22). In use, a motorbike or other auxiliary equipment is initially secured within a transportation frame (60) on the ground adjacent to the trailer (10). This may comprise locating the wheels of the motorbike in or on a bogey (62) and then securing an upper frame (66) and straps (68) to a lower frame (61). Once secured, attachment means (49) located on the end of a flexible hoist member (48) can be secured to the upper frame (66). Once secured, the modular hoist (40) can then be operated to raise the auxiliary equipment and the transportation frame (60) to the required height. Once the transportation frame (60) has been raised and at the required height, the transportation frame (60) can then be pivoted relative to a mounting bracket (30) in a horizontal plane in order for the transportation frame (60) to locate above the securement rails (20, 22) on top of the trailer (10). The transportation frame (60) is then locked to the securement rails (20, 22). The auxiliary equipment is thereby easily mounted to the top of the trailer (10) and can be transported with the trailer (10). The hoist (40) is transported in a storage compartment (50) such that the hoist (40) can be subsequently used to dismount the auxiliary equipment at the destination.</p> |
