Mackvision Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The "white thing" under the trailer is indeed a loading ramp,more commonly called a "walk-board" by movers,i was leased to Atlas Van Lines for 23 years. The trailer pictured is an older model,newer moving van ramp carriers are now fully enclosed,the underhang under the trailer is commonly called a "belly-box" used for storage of the ramp,plywood,decking bars,extra equipment,etc............................Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
