Abstract
A trailer van is adapted to load compressible materials in sequential steps resulting in a compressed product load. The product is compressed by a bulkhead which in turn is moved by a pair of wheeled trolleys. A separate pair of cables is associated with each trolly for stabilizing the trolleys in a vertical disposition. A chain tensioner sprocket is used in conjunction with each loop arrangement and trolley. A direction reversing control valve and handle are located in the trailer floor adjacent the rear opening.
