Abstract
A detachable platform for supporting a container or the like has extensible legs to stand on the ground and permit a truck body or trailer to pass beneath the platform between the legs and has a built-in jacking system that raises the platform off a truck body or trailer to allow the legs to be extended. The platform permits standard truck bodies and trailers to be used with standard containers without external cranes or lifting devices and avoids the necessity of leaving a container sitting on a truck or trailer.
