Abstract

The invention relates to a trailer which makes use of at least one bulk transportation container (12) as the load bearing structure of the trailer. The trailer further includes a wheel set (14) and draught vehicle connection means (16) which are connected to the container (12) at spaced apart positions. If desired, the body may be made up of two containers connected end-to-end.
