Trailer

The trailer 1 has a loading plaform which comprises a loading deck 3 and upright walls 5 along the periphery of the loading deck and connected to the loading deck. A cross beam 7 is fitted under the loading deck and is connected to the loading deck, and a pole 9 which is fitted at right angles to the cross beam is also fitted to the cross beam. The cross beam is fitted to the pole by means of two connecting elements 19. These connecting elements are formed by plates of which an upper part extends parallel to the pole 9 and is fitted to the pole 9 at locations 21 on either one of the two sides of and at a distance from the cross beam, and which plates are fitted in the middle with a lower part to the cross beam 7. As a result of this, the fitting of the cross beam to the pole is such that a torque exerted on the cross beam can be supported by the pole. In consequence, the loading platform is loaded to a lesser extent, so that it may have a lighter construction.
