Abstract

This invention provides a tipping trailer where the trailer frame is pivotably connected to a hopper for the trailer. Upon release of a lock the hopper may tilt on its pivot with the frame such that a portion thereof makes contact with the surface below and on reversal of the trailer the hopper will tilt and roll back until it is up-ended.
