Abstract

A modular cage trailer which includes a semi-trailer over which there is a structure designed to transport livestock. The trailer includes a reticular lower chassis, side walls, a roof, a front wall and a rear wall, formed by cross-sectional elongated “L” profiles of different length, individually numbered, that are connected and assembled to each other through mounting plates and anchoring bolts that define the corresponding bridging knots, all of which are duly galvanized.

Claims (9)

1. A modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, including a semi-trailer over which there is a structure configured to transport livestock, comprising:

a reticular lower chassis, side walls, a roof, a front wall and a rear wall, each formed by a plurality of modular assemblies each comprising a plurality of cross-sectional elongated L-shaped members of different length, each of which is individually numbered to be readily identified and configured to be assembled and reassembled, that are connected and assembled to each other through bridging knots comprising one or more mounting plates and anchoring bolts configured to facilitate removal of one of said modular assemblies by removal of said anchoring bolts; wherein said L-shaped members are galvanized.

2. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein the lower chassis includes a set of said L-shaped members of different length that form a reticular structure formed by beams, studs and diagonal bars.

3. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein the lower chassis includes a mounting plate of running gear that is arranged over longitudinal L-shaped members and said cross-sectional L-shaped members and is fixed through bolts.

4. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein the lower chassis supports a plate carrier of a “kingpin” that is arranged fixed with bolts over said individually numbered L-shaped members.

5. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein the front wall of the cage trailer is formed by numbered crossbeams and studs of different length, formed by elongated L-shaped members.

6. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein the side walls of the trailer are made of studs, upper beams and lower beams of different length, individually numbered, all of which are formed by L-shaped members.

7. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein a set of individually numbered L-shaped members of different length, form a side device of underrun protection.

8. The modular cage trailer for the transport of livestock, according to claim 1 , wherein the rear wall of the cage trailer includes a loading and unloading door and a statutory bumper defined over said L-shaped members arranged over mounting plates fixed with bolts.
