1. A trailer enclosure comprising:
a trailer platform;
an enclosure which has a closed position and a raised position;
a motorized lift mechanism connected to the enclosure which raises the enclosure to the raised position, the motorized lift mechanism drives at least two ball screws, each ball screw driving a bracket connected to the enclosure, up or down as the ball screw rotates.
2. A trailer enclosure comprising:
a trailer platform;
an enclosure which has a closed position and a raised position;
a lift mechanism connected to the enclosure which raises the enclosure to the raised position, and
wherein the lift mechanism is comprised of a motor which drives four ball screws, by driving a chain extending around the trailer platform, the chain causing a sprocket engaged with each ball screw to rotate, which causes each ball screw to rotate, each ball screw driving a bracket, connected to the enclosure, up or down as the ball screw rotates.
3. The trailer enclosure of claim 2 wherein the motor drives the chain in a first direction to rotate the four ball screws in a first direct to raise the enclosure to the raised position.
4. The trailer enclosure of claim 2 wherein the motor drives the chain in a second direction to rotate the four ball screws in a second direct to lower the enclosure to the closed position.
5. The trailer enclosure of claim 4 further including latches which lock the enclosure in the closed position.
6. The trailer enclosure of claim 2 further including a power source to operate the lift mechanism.
7. The trailer enclosure of claim 6 wherein the power source is a battery.
8. The trailer enclosure of claim 6 wherein the power source is a vehicle the trailer is electrically connected to.
9. The trailer enclosure of claim 7 wherein the power source is manually turning a motor sprocket to move the chain to lift or lower the enclosure.
10. A trailer enclosure comprising:
a trailer platform;
an enclosure which has a closed position and a raised position;
a manually powered lift mechanism connected to the enclosure which raises the enclosure to the raised position, the manually powered lift mechanism drives at least two ball screws, each ball screw driving a bracket connected to the enclosure, up or down as the ball screw rotates.
