ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A drop center livestock trailer is provided with a deck which is vertically adjustable within the trailer body to two separate positions for accommodating various forms of livestock and freight. A sectional gate structure which extends for either the full or a part of the trailer trailer width is incorporated in the trailer for assuming a first position in which it acts as a gate limiting the movement of livestock in that trailer and a second position wherein it supports a ramp for facilitating the loading and unloading of the livestock. The ramp is pivotally attached to one end o the movable deck and is supported by a lower section of the sectional gate structure. The ramp is allowed to drop from its normal horizontal position to an inclined position by moving the lower section of the gate structure to an inclined position. Connected to the lower gate section to an upper gate section which is pivotally connected to the side walls of the trailer. The upper gate section is connected to the lower section by a connecting rod so that the lower section is rotated from its normal vertical position to the inclined position. The connecting rod consists of two telescopingly related portions and is capable of assuming two positions for adjusting the effective length thereof. In this manner, the angle of inclination of the lower section of the gate structure is adjustable for supporting the ramp when the movable deck is in each of the two positions which it is capable of assuming.
