Abstract

A truck tractor and trailer rig for long distance transport of motor vehicles includes a plurality of paired tracks, each of which paired tracks supports a vehicle during transport. The paired tracks are hydraulically selectively tiltable, vertically positionable and longitudinally translatable to permit tilted overlapped storage of each of the motor vehicles which increases the number of vehicles transportable while permitting one man loading and unloading.
