Drop deck trailer with suspension system, loading system, and interchangeable deck system

A drop deck trailer with a powered loading system, comprising:

• a frame having an inner surface that defines an opening, said frame having a plurality of cantilever arms rotatably connected to said inner surface;
• a deck positioned in said opening of said frame and rotatably connected to a lower end of each cantilever arm of said plurality of cantilever arms such that said deck is raised and lowered relative to said frame;
• a carriage positioned on a top surface of said deck, wherein said carriage is configured to receive at least one wheel of a vehicle;
• first and second rim rollers connected to said carriage, wherein said first and second rim rollers are configured to extend outward in a lateral direction of said deck to secure two wheels of said vehicle to said carriage;
• and
• a power system which drives said carriage in a longitudinal direction of said deck from a back end of said deck to a front end of said deck to draw said vehicle onto said deck.

A drop deck trailer with a selectively attachable deck, comprising:

• a deck extending between a front end and a back end, said deck having a channel extending along said deck, and said deck having an opening extending into said channel;
• a frame having an arm extending proximate to a side of said deck, said arm having an inner surface;
• and
• a plurality of cantilever arms rotatably connected to said inner surface of said arm, wherein a pin on a lower end of a cantilever arm of said plurality of cantilever arms has a width that is less than a width of said opening and greater than a width of said channel, and said pin extends through said opening to selectively connect said deck and said frame.

• a deck positioned in said opening of said frame and rotatably connected to a lower end of each cantilever arm of said plurality of cantilever arms such that said deck is raised and lowered relative to said frame;
• a carriage positioned on a top surface of said deck, wherein said carriage is configured to receive at least one wheel of a vehicle;
• a chain loop connected to said carriage;
• and
• a power system which drives said carriage in a longitudinal direction of said deck from a back end of said deck to a front end of said deck to draw said vehicle onto said deck, wherein said power system is a motor with a shaft that drives said chain loop in one direction to move said carriage from said back end to said front end of said deck, and wherein said shaft drives said chain loop in an opposing direction to move said carriage from said front end to said back end of said deck.
