A trailer has a tail end which is convertible from a sloping ramp for ease of loading to a level load carrying surface. The trailer has a forward, level deck with a fixed, sloping tail end ramp frame. A platform structure mounted on the ramp frame has a forward end hingedly connected at a rear of the level deck. A raising mechanism extends between the tail end of the ramp frame and the platform for swinging the platform upwardly to level with the deck to form an extension of the deck. Two embodiments of the trailer are disclosed. The second embodiment has a center section raisable platform with fold out ramps on either side of the platform which swings out to ground surface. The center section can be raised and the fold out ramp swung inwardly to create a level load surface level with the trailer deck. The first embodiment has a raisable platform structure which extends across the entirety of the tail end ramp frame. Loading ramps extend from pull out storage pockets to enable loading on the retracted platform structure and then to the level deck. After loading, the platform is raised and the load on the trailer can be moved to any position on the trailer.
