The present invention relates to a trailer (1) comprising a load bearing chassis (2) that extends between a forwards and rearwards ends (5,7) of the trailer, a plurality of container mounts (16) for securing a container (3) to the chassis, and road running gear (19) including at least two axles (21,22,23) with corresponding sets of road going wheels (26). The container mounts (16) include at least one set of mounts for securing a 20 foot (6.1 m) ISO-format container (3) at an intermediate position on the trailer (1) such that the chassis (2) extends both rearwards and rearwards of the secured container (3) towards the ends (5,7) of the trailer. The chassis (2) is a split chassis having forwards and rearwards sections (4,6) and chassis engaging means (8) by which these sections may be connected to form the chassis (2) and which may be disconnected to form a shortened load bearing chassis (4). The road running gear (19) is split between the forwards and rearwards sections (4,6), with the rearwards section (6) having one fixed axle (23) and the forwards section having at least one axle (21,22). The split between the forwards and rearwards chassis sections (4,6) is such that direct access is provided to rearwardly facing doors (29) of the secured container (3). |
