Swap trailer

(swap trailer) is an attachment for the chassis of a truck equipped for this purpose with an overall length of up to 7.45 m and a width of up to 2.50 m (permissible total weight 16 t). The W. has four legs that can be folded out by 90 degrees, on which it rests after being parked by the truck. The W. is picked up and dropped by electro-hydraulic up and down movement of the chassis. The term swap body is used for swap bodies that are closed like containers and swap bodies when the unit is covered with tarpaulins. Cf. swap bodies.
