Abstract
A road going trailer has a body 1 with at least one pair of rear wheels 2 and at least one front castor or bogie 4 mounted on the body, and each castor or bogie has suspension means 29, and means 16 for resisting rotation of the castor or bogie about a vertical axis. A tow bar 7 is mounted on the chassis or body at 8 so as to permit generally vertical movement of the forward end thereof. Since the castor or bogie is not steered via the tow bar, jack-knifing is less likely to occur than in trailers with steered front wheels. <IMAGE>
