Material/equipment handling assembly

A trailer assembly removably attachable to a vehicle for transporting materials or equipment between remote locations, said trailer assembly comprising:

• a body having a plurality of operably connected sidewalls defining a cavity therebetween such that an operator can selectively access the cavity from alternate sides of said body, selected ones of said sidewalls being pivotally coupled to said body and selectively adaptable between loading and unloading positions such that materials and equipment stored within the cavity can be removed outwardly from said body during operating conditions, said body further including a monolithically formed hitch section protruding forwardly therefrom and being securely conjoinable to the vehicle such that said assembly may be towed between remote locations, another one of said sidewalls defining a substantially planar bottom surface of said body for supporting the material and equipment thereabove;
• a rigid platform and a plurality of wheels rotatably connected thereto for supporting said body spaced above a ground surface;
• means for selectively pivoting said body between sloped and horizontal positions for assisting the operator to discharge the material and equipment housed within the cavity;
• means for separating a plurality of loads stored within the cavity such that the loads can be effectively isolated during transport, said separating means being removably positional within the cavity and slidably adjustable along a longitudinal length of said body such that a pair of contiguous cavity portions can be selectively adapted between alternate dimensions;
• and
• a manually operable retractable tarpaulin laterally registered along a width of said body and adjoining a front end portion of said body such that said tarpaulin can be selectively biased between extended and retracted positions along a top opening of said body, said tarpaulin for protecting exposed material and equipment during transit.
