Abstract
The housing of a wheeled trailer has a discrete bottom rail-scuff plate along the bottom end of each side wall. Each scuff plate is coupled to the bottom wall of the housing and extends upwardly from the floor surface for a height of at least eight inches. The upper end portion of each scuff plate supports the lower ends of inner and outer panels of the side wall whereby the inner surface of the bottom rail acts as a scuff plate to protect the inner panels from being scuffed by the load or lift trucks for handling the load.
