Apparatus for transportation and display of demonstrations and articles of merchandise utilizes a trailer part with undercarriage for facilitating movement from one location to another and is also provided with vertically adjustable castors which can be utilized to lift the carriage clear of a floor or road surface so that the vehicle can be maneuvered on the castors alone. In order to increase the area available for product display while maintaining dimensions more suitable for transport and, at the same time, providing protection for articles being transported, a box like body is provided on or integral with the trailer, the box having open sides covered by box-like covers each cover provided with, when closed, an inward facing open side, the covers each being connected by vertical hinge arrangements to a vertical corner of the body to allow horizontal swing-out-opening, the covers including, within themselves, display spaces which are visible when the covers are opened.
