Abstract
A trailer includes a front section having a first floor approximately between three and six feet above a street level. A rear section has a second floor approximately between three and six feet above the street level. A horizontally-oriented platform is disposed in the middle section. At least one linear actuator is coupled to the platform and selectively raises and lowers the platform between a lower position at most two feet above the street level and an upper position approximately between three and seven feet above the street level. Warning lights indicate a position and state of motion of the platform.
