Modular trailer wall system

A method for detachably attaching a modular trailer wall system for containing loads to a deck of a utility trailer, the deck and wall system being adapted to be towed by the utility vehicle, the deck having

• a pair of lateral edges;
• a leading edge extending between the lateral edges that faces the utility vehicle;
• a trailing edge extending between the lateral edges that faces away from the utility vehicle, and
• a plurality of rear cut-outs provided in a rearward facing edge of each side wall, the rear cut-outs being adapted to secure an end cover for added protection of the cargo or to be used to connect to additional abutted walls,
• the method comprising the steps, not necessarily being performed in the sequence listed, of
• mounting two side walls on the deck so that they extend upwardly from the lateral edges of the deck;
• attaching a front wall to the deck so that it extends upwardly from the leading edge of the deck;
• securing the side walls to the front wall;
• and
• placing a removable partition extending upwardly from the deck between the side walls, the removable partition being adapted to extend between the two side walls at a position that lies above or ahead of the trailing edge of the deck.

A modular trailer wall system for containing loads, the trailer system being detachably attached to a deck of a utility trailer, the deck and wall system being adapted to be towed by a utility vehicle, the deck having

• a pair of lateral edges;
• a leading edge extending between the lateral edges that faces the utility vehicle;
• and
• a trailing edge extending between the lateral edges that faces away from the utility vehicle,
• the wall system being metallic for structural integrity, durability, and corrosion resistance and having
• two side walls extending upwardly from the pair of lateral edges of the deck;
• a front wall extending upwardly from the leading edge of the deck;
• a removable partition extending upwardly from the deck, the removable partition being adapted to extend between the two side walls at a position that lies above or ahead of the trailing edge of the deck;
• locking mechanisms to detachably attach the removable partition to one or more of the side walls;
• upper attachment mechanisms that secure the two side walls to the front wall;
• and
• lower attachment mechanisms that secure the wall system to the deck, wherein the removable partition contains cutouts that mate with shoulder fasteners that protrude from vertical rails on each side wall.
