TRANSPORT TRAILER AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING AN OVERSIZE LOAD

A transport trailer (14) and a method for transporting an oversize load (12) are provided. The transport trailer includes a trailer. The trailer includes an elongated body (24) that extends in a length direction and that has an upper base surface (28). A support assembly (18) is configured to support the oversize load and is pivotably coupled to the trailer to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the support assembly extends over the upper base surface and beyond the trailer in a width direction that is transverse to the length direction (26) to define a wide load overhang that extends beyond the trailer in the width direction. In the second position, the support assembly is positioned at an incline relative to the first position to one of reduce and eliminate the wide load overhang.
