Abstract
A container transport system in which a trailer has primary rear load carrying wheels which can be elevated to transfer ground contact to caster wheels and lower the trailer bed, and in which a leg-mounted pallet frame has a center guide slot into which a central guide post at the rear of the trailer is maneuvered while the trailer is backed on the caster wheels to assist in properly aligning the trailer beneath the pallet frame, whereupon the primary wheels are lowered to lift the pallet frame free of the ground for transport on the trailer.
