An extendible flatbed trailer (1), which may be connected to a tractor unit, comprises a chassis section (2) that has a first platform with a load bearing first floor surface (4), and a wheeled bogie section (3), the bogie section (3) having a second platform with a load bearing second floor surface (5). The bogie section (3) is slidably connected to the chassis section (2) and relatively movable between extended and retracted positions, the second floor surface (5) relatively extending from underneath the first floor surface (4) as the sections (2, 3) are moved from a retracted to an extended position. One section (2) has a track (17) and a crane (40) with running gear (41) that engages with the track (17) so that the crane (40) may travel over a floor surface (4) between a forward and a rearward position, the reach and travel of the crane being sufficient to load or unload the other floor surface (5) when the trailer (1) is extended. |
