A suspension for a trailer vehicle that allows the trailer itself to be used as a ramp. The suspension has an axle having an axis and wheels at each end of the axle. The axle is pivotally connected to the vehicle at a pivotal connection and the axis of the axle is offset from the pivotal connection to the vehicle. An actuation device having a first and second end is pivotally connected to the axle at its first end. The actuation device is movable between a retracted length and extended length. Shifting the actuation device between its retracted and extended lengths causes the axle to pivot about the pivotal connection on the trailer, thereby changing the height of the vehicle relative to the ground surface. The trailer can be used as a ramp, thus, eliminating the need for separate ramps.

Liftable ramp trailer

An adjustable tray table for a motor vehicle is disclosed. A base is fixed to a dashboard in the vehicle, and a platform is attached to the base. The platform or tray table has two sides and a substantially flat surface, and is adapted for movement between an extended position and a retracted storage position. When in the retracted storage position the platform closely conforms to the contour of the vehicle dashboard, and projects outwardly therefrom when in the extended position. Slidably engaging rails are provided to controllably direct the platform between the active and retracted storage positions.
