A trailer for use in an articulated vehicle. The trailer comprises first and second parts movable longitudinally relative to each other whereby to place the trailer into load transporting and load handling positions. The first 5 part has hook lift means secured thereto, and the second part comprises road wheels and a fifth wheel assembly adapted for articulating connection of a further trailer behind said trailer. In the load handling configuration the fifth wheel assembly lies below said hook lift means so that the hook lift means can lift a load from a ground surface onto said first part while clearing the fifth 10 wheel assembly. In the load transporting configuration the fifth wheel assembly lies below and behind said hook lift means and the load so that the further trailer can be secured to said fifth wheel assembly for normal articulation thereon. too 4c) |
