A trailer configured to transport a load, the trailer comprising:
- a bed comprising an upper surface configured to support the load;
- a first rotation pin extending above the upper surface of the bed and configured to move along the bed;
- and
- a winch assembly coupled to a first lateral side of the trailer and comprising a first winch and a boom, wherein the boom is configured to extend outward from the first lateral side of the trailer and the first winch is configured to be connected to the load and to rotate the load about the first rotation pin.
A method of rotating a load on a trailer, the method comprising:
- positioning a load on a bed of a trailer, the trailer comprising:
- a rotation pin coupled to the bed of the trailer and configured to move along the bed;
- and
- a winch assembly coupled to a first lateral side of the bed of the trailer, the winch assembly comprising a winch and a boom;
- wherein positioning the load on the trailer comprises rotatably coupling the load to the rotation pin;
- moving the boom to an extended position away from the bed of the trailer;
- coupling a rope to the load;
- and
- pulling the rope with the winch to rotate the load about the rotation pin.
A trailer configured to transport a load, the trailer comprising:
- a bed comprising an upper surface configured to support the load, the upper surface comprising at least one of a plurality of ball transfer units or a low friction material;
- a first rotation pin coupled to the bed and extending above the upper surface, the first rotation pin configured to move along the bed;
- and
- a winch assembly coupled to a first lateral side of the trailer and comprising a winch configured to be coupled to the load by a rope and to rotate the load about the first rotation pin;
- wherein the first rotation pin is configured to be rotatably coupled to the load to enable rotation of the load about the first rotation pin.
