A double lead-pup trailer assembly for container transport has swivel bunks enabling the container to be carried on the articulated trailers. The rear swivel bunk slides rotatably within a slot extending to the rear of the pup trailer allowing the container to be directly unloaded. The coupling means between the trailers is adjustable between a highway articulated driving relationship, and a backing up aligned relationship. One advantage is the gross vehicle weight and payload are improved. Another advantage is that the container more closely tracks the tractor and trailer wheels on turns, thus providing more manoeuvrability and safety.

Un ensemble de remorques (une remorque principale et une semi-remorque) doubles utilisé pour le transport de conteneurs et muni de plates-formes pivotantes permettant au conteneur d'être transporté sur les remorques articulées. La plate-forme pivotante arrière glisse en tournant à l'intérieur d'une encoche, qui s'étend jusqu'à l'arrière de la semi-remorque, permettant ainsi au conteneur d'être déchargé directement. L'accrochage entre les deux remorques est ajustable pour satisfaire tant à une combinaison articulée pour conduite sur route qu'à une combinaison pour alignement en marche arrière. Un avantage est l'amélioration du poids nominal brut du véhicule et de la charge transportée. Un second avantage est le fait que le conteneur suit de plus près le mouvement des roues du véhicule tracteur et de la remorque dans les virages, offrant ainsi une meilleure manoeuvrabilité et sécurité.
