TRANSPORT TRAILER CAPABLE OF BEING LOADED AND UNLOADED BY MEANS OF A TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH A GRIPPING ARM

摘要

The invention concerns a trailer (1) equipped with a mobile transfer cross-member (31) receiving in support the rear end (53) of the load (12) and moving in both directions along said trailer under the action of the handling arm (43) of the truck (23). The upper part of the trailer (1) and the lower part of the mobile transfer cross-member (31) are designed to produce between them, when the cross-member is in the front part (11) of the trailer, an adjusting clearance (68) allowing a lateral and/or angular movement adjusting the cross-member relative to the longitudinal axis of the trailer enabling an alignment variation between the truck and the trailer to be compensated. Said clearance gradually decreases when the cross-member moves rearwards of the trailer, causing the latter to be laterally and angularly realigned relative to the longitudinal axis of the trailer.
