The invention relates to versatile cargo trailer decks, and to methods for moving cargo onto such cargo trailer decks. In embodiment, a cargo trailer deck may have first and second moving apparatus attached to a deck member. The first moving apparatus may be adapted to move cargo between the back end of the deck member and the front end of the deck member, while the second moving apparatus may be adapted to rotate cargo from one orientation on the deck member to a second orientation on the deck member. The deck member may be adapted to move in backward, forward, left, right, vertical, and tilt directions, in order to align the deck member for loading and/or unloading cargo.

We claim: 1. A cargo trailer deck comprising: a frame member for attaching to a vehicle, wherein the frame member is adapted to pivot into varying positions; a deck member attached to the frame member, the deck member comprising a front end, a back end, a left side, a right side, a bottom side, and
We claim: 1. A cargo trailer deck comprising: a frame member for attaching to a vehicle, wherein the frame member is adapted to pivot into varying positions; a deck member attached to the frame member, the deck member comprising a front end, a back end, a left side, a right side, a bottom side, and a top side, wherein the back end is tapered from the top side to the bottom side; a first moving apparatus attached to said deck member, wherein said first moving apparatus comprises a first plurality of rollers disposed in parallel, spaced-apart alignment between and parallel to the front and back ends of the deck member, wherein the first plurality of rollers are further disposed perpendicular to the left and the right sides of the deck member, and wherein the first plurality of rollers are for moving cargo between said back end of said deck member and said front end of said deck member; a second moving apparatus attached to said deck member, wherein said second moving apparatus comprises a second plurality of rollers, wherein at least two of the second plurality of rollers are disposed parallel to the first plurality of rollers and at least another two of the second plurality of rollers are disposed perpendicular to the first plurality of rollers, and wherein the second plurality of rollers are for rotating cargo from one orientation on said deck member to a second orientation on said deck member; a cable winch member disposed in an opening in said deck member extending from said front end to said second moving apparatus; and a rotatable and retractable turning member comprising a plate disposed between the at least two of the second plurality of rollers, and disposed between the at least another two of the second plurality of rollers, wherein each of the at least two of the second plurality of rollers, the at least another two of the second plurality of rollers, and the rotatable and retractable turning member are configured to completely retract within the deck member in one position, and to extend out of the deck member in another position. 2. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein a third moving apparatus is disposed in said tapered back end for moving cargo up and down the tapered back end. 3. The cargo trailer deck of claim 2 wherein the third moving apparatus comprises a roller. 4. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein tie-down rings are disposed in said left and right sides of said deck member. 5. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein a stop member is attached to said front end of said deck member. 6. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein said second moving apparatus is for moving cargo sideways along said deck member between the left and right sides of the deck member. 7. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein said first and second moving apparatus are attached to a motor. 8. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein said trailer deck is for loading cargo at least one of onto or off an aircraft. 9. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein the second moving apparatus is for rotating cargo a full rotation relative to the deck member. 10. The cargo trailer deck of claim 1 wherein the second plurality of rollers are aligned substantially in a circle to rotate cargo from one orientation to another relative to the deck member. 11. The cargo trailer deck of claim 10 wherein the plate is disposed in a center of the circle. 12. A method of moving cargo on a trailer deck comprising: providing a trailer deck comprising: a frame member for attaching to a vehicle, wherein the frame member is adapted to pivot into varying positions; a deck member attached to the frame member, the deck member comprising a front end, a back end, a left side, a right side, a bottom side, and a top side, with the back end tapered from the top side to the bottom side; a first moving apparatus attached to said deck member, wherein the first moving apparatus comprises a first plurality of rollers disposed in parallel, spaced-apart alignment between and parallel to the front and back ends of the deck member, and the first plurality of rollers are further disposed perpendicular to the left and the right sides of the deck member; a second moving apparatus attached to said deck member, wherein the second moving apparatus comprises a second plurality of rollers, wherein at least two of the second plurality of rollers are disposed parallel to the first plurality of rollers and at least another two of the second plurality of rollers are disposed perpendicular to the first plurality of rollers; a cable winch member disposed in an opening in said deck member extending from said front end to said second moving apparatus; and a rotatable and retractable turning member comprising a plate disposed between the at least two of the second plurality of rollers, and disposed between the at least another two of the second plurality of rollers; moving cargo between the back end of the deck member and the front end of the deck member utilizing said first moving apparatus; extending the at least two of the second plurality of rollers, the at least another two of the second plurality of rollers, and the rotatable and retractable turning member from completely within the deck member to outside the deck member; and rotating said cargo from one orientation on said deck member to a second orientation on said deck member utilizing said second moving apparatus and said rotatable and retractable turning member. 13. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of attaching the cable winch member to said cargo and winching said cargo at least one of towards or away from said front end of said deck member. 14. The method of claim 12 further comprising the step of moving said cargo sideways along said deck member utilizing said second moving apparatus. 15. The method of claim 12 further comprising the steps of attaching said trailer deck to a vehicle and moving said trailer deck using said vehicle. 16. The method of claim 12 wherein the provided trailer deck further comprises a plurality of swing-arms attached to said deck member. 17. The method of claim 12 wherein the rotating step comprises rotating the cargo from the one orientation in which a side of the cargo is disposed parallel to the front and back ends of the deck member to the second orientation in which the side of the cargo is disposed parallel to the left and right sides of the deck member. 18. The method of claim 12 wherein the second plurality of rollers are aligned substantially in a circle. 19. The method of claim 18 wherein the plate is disposed in a center of the circle. 20. The method of claim 12 wherein a third moving apparatus is disposed in said tapered back end, and further comprising the step of moving cargo along the tapered back end using said third moving apparatus. 21. The method of claim 20 wherein the third moving apparatus comprises a roller.
