Patent attributes
A hitch assembly that is adapted for allowing the loading and unloading of cargo at the forward end of a trailer. The assembly may comprise a pivot axis, defined by a pivotable connection device, and a first plane, defined by a hitch frame, operably attached to a second plane, defined by a trailer frame of the trailer, by the pivotable connection device. The assembly can be selectively pivoted and secured between at least a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to the trailer frame, wherein the first plane and the second plane may be angularly offset from one another when the assembly is in a position other than the first position. Further, the front end of the trailer frame moves downwardly relative to the coupling means when the hitch assembly is in the second position and upwardly when the hitch assembly is in the third position.
