Dual trailer

Abstract

A dual dump trailer assembly (10) is provided which provides for operating two end dump trailers (12, 14) with a single cab (16). The operation is possible by use of a movable pedestal (30) having a fifth wheel mounted on the forward end dump trailer (12). The pedestal (30) is in the rearward, trailing position to attach the rearward end dump trailer (14) at the fifth wheel (110) on the pedestal for towing. Upon arrival at the dump site, the rearward end dump trailer (14) can be dumped and then detached from the forward end dump trailer (12). The pedestal (30) mounting the fifth wheel will move forward to a forward, dumping position, permitting the contents of the forward end dump trailer (12) to be dumped.
