Claims20
A trailer assembly comprising:
- a trailer having a utility position and a tow position;
- a hitch assembly projecting outward from a base;
- a left swivel plate and a right swivel plate pivotally mounted to the base, the left swivel plate and the right swivel plate each having an opened position and a closed position;
- a left inner module, the left inner module carried by the left swivel plate such that the left inner module pivots with the left swivel plate when the left swivel plate is moved between the opened position and the closed position;
- a right inner module, the right inner module carried by the right swivel plate such that the right inner module pivots with the right swivel plate when the right swivel plate is moved between the opened position and the closed position;
- a left outer module pivotally connected to the left inner module;
- a right outer module pivotally connected to the right inner module;
- a left axle assembly connected to the left swivel plate, the left axle assembly movable between a rolling position and an angled position, the rolling position preventing movement of the left swivel plate and the angled position allowing movement of the left swivel plate between the opened position and the closed position, wherein the left axle assembly comprises:
- a left wheel assembly;
- and
- a left actuator, the left actuator configured to actuate the left wheel assembly, wherein actuation of the left wheel assembly allows movement of the left axle assembly between the rolling position and the angled position;
- and
- a right axle assembly connected to the right swivel plate, the right axle assembly movable between a rolling position and an angled position, the rolling position preventing movement of the right swivel plate and the angled position allowing movement of the right swivel plate between the opened position and the closed position, wherein the right axle assembly comprises:
- a right wheel assembly;
- and
- a right actuator, the right actuator configured to actuate the right wheel assembly, wherein actuation of the right wheel assembly allows movement of the right axle assembly between the rolling position and the angled position.
