Abstract

An ejector trailer comprises an apron movable along a length of the ejector trailer. The apron comprises a plurality of apron bosses at, or about a periphery of the apron. The apron bosses have respective threaded apertures for receiving and coupling to respective threaded rods. A drive mechanism is coupled to the plurality of threaded rods to rotate the threaded rods to move the apron along the length of the ejector trailer. The ejector trailer can be pivotally coupled to an elevating arm coupled to a chassis of the trailer and driven by a hydraulic ram to move the trailer in a rearward direction and into an out of level or upwardly inclined position in the rearward direction.
