Abstract
A goods handling apparatus for a cargo storage and transport trailer of, or connectable to, a vehicle. The preferred apparatus includes a movable cargo platform forming a separate part of, and continuous with, the trailer floor when the cargo platform is in an upper position whereupon cargo may be slid between the trailer floor and the cargo platform. A vertical actuator attached to the cargo platform raises and lowers the cargo platform between the upper position and a lower position atop the ground or other vehicle support surface whereupon cargo may be slid between the cargo platform and the ground or other vehicle support surface. The cargo platform is positioned substantially within the plan perimeter of the floor of the trailer when cargo on the cargo platform is lifted or lowered. A side module is also available.
