Title: Overwidth device for flat bed truck or trailer

Abstract: A flat bed truck or trailer is provided with extensible side plate members or segments to increase the area of the truck or trailer bed. The side members are capable of being retracted when not in use so as to lie substantially within the area of the truck or trailer bed. When in their extended position, the side members are provided with suitable supports to lend strength and rigidity thereto. The increased bed area enables farm machines, such as tractors, combines, windrowers and the like as well as off highway earth working machinery to be readily supported thereon while being transported from one area to another.
