Abstract
A cargo trailer having thin side walls mounted to top and bottom side rails wherein the thin walls consist of a plurality of adjacent overlapping outer plates, a plurality of regularly spaced thin posts and a plurality of thin liner panels between and overlapping the posts. The thin posts are reduced in thickness and inwardly offset opposite the top and bottom side rails and are positioned inside those rails. The offset portion of the posts moves the major portions of the posts outwardly to be coplanar with the exteriors of the top and bottom side rails and increases the interior width of the trailer. A stress plate may be provided along lower portions of the posts. The outer plates, posts and liner panels are fastened together and to the top and bottom rails.
