A tail extension (1) adapted to be pivotally attached (2) to a load carrying container (3). Tail (1) pivots between a first position substantially outwar ds from a floor of the container, and a second position upwardly inclined relative to said floor. Tail (1) may be formed as one or a plurality of sections which move individually or cooperatively. Tail (1) may be pivotally connected (2) adjacent the floor of container (3) by a hinge allowing free movement and/or may be displaced by a drive means (e.g. hydraulic, mechanica l, pneumatic). By tail (1) being able to pivot when contacting the ground, tail (1) and container (3) are not going to be subjected to undue forces which ma y damage tail (1) or container (3). When being transported, tail (1) acts as a n extension to improve the load carrying capacity of the container by extendin g outwardly, or, can be displaced upwardly by a drive means to form a rear wal l on the container.
