A lowboy trailer is described having a pair of rear wheel assemblies mounted to a chassis of the trailer for movement between transport and loading positions such that the wheel assemblies are aligned across a back of the body when they are in the transport position and raised and positioned outwardly when the chassis is in the loading position. A linkage mechanism moves each of the wheel assemblies between the transport and loading positions'. Each linkage mechanism automatically fastens the wheel assembly to the chassis of the trailer when the assembly is moved to its transport position. In operation, each of the wheel assemblies is moved from its transport position to the loading position by first moving to an intermediate raised position. By moving the wheel assemblies to the raised position they are automatically unfastened from the chassis and freed to move outwardly about a vertical pivot axis.
