A trailer-mounted platform that unfolds to provide a multipurpose platform is herein disclosed, comprising a conventional double axle trailer. A pair of side panels is attached to a longitudinal edge and folded up for transport. In their folded state, the side panels form a triangular shape with a bottom center panel. As such, the interior of the triangular space is used to transport various items associated with the final use of the platform. Upon arrival at its destination, the side panels are lowered and supported with adjustable jack stands along with the center panel to form a platform assembly. The jack stands are adjustable over a wide range to accommodate ground conditions.

1. A trailer-mounted platform for being towed behind a vehicle, said trailer-mounted platform comprising: a trailer assembly; and,a multi-section platform assembly connected to said trailer assembly, said multi-section platform assembly comprising: a shelf attached to said base and protruding outwardly above said trailer assembly;a center panel attached to said shelf and attached to said base respectively;first and second outer panels pivotally connected to said center panel thereby forming a generally triangular internal storage area above said center panel;a control panel including a switch selectively toggled between on and off configurations;first and second motors located inside said shelf and coupled to said control panel;first and second clutch-brakes located inside said shelf;a first torque shaft connected said first clutch-brake and attached to said first outer panel;a second torque shaft connected to said second clutch-brake and attached to said second outer panel;first and second drive shafts connected to said first and second motors respectively; and,a plurality of offset brackets connected to said first and second drive shafts respectively;wherein said first clutch-brake is connected to said first motor via said first drive shaft;wherein second clutch-brake is connected to said second motor via a second drive shaft;wherein said first and second clutch-brakes are engaged when said switch is at the on configuration; and,wherein said first and second outer panels are selectively articulated between folded and unfolded configurations, said first and second outer panels being horizontally oriented within with said center panel when biased to the unfolded configuration. 2. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, wherein said trailer assembly comprises: a base;a pair of runners located on outside lower edges of said base;an A-frame extending out from a front surface of said base;an A-frame jack stand attached to a side surface of said A-frame;a hitch receiver positioned perpendicular to said A-frame and adapted to be connected to an existing ball hitch; and,a first and second wheel pairs located on lower side portions of said runners. 3. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, further comprising: a center support removably inserted onto said center panel and thereby supporting said first and second outer panels at the folded configuration, said center support resting on an upper surface of said center panel and having wedge-shaped upper ends connected to said first and second outer panels. 4. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, further comprising: a triangular-shaped top cover having open bottom ends mated with longitudinal upper end portions of said first and second outer panels, said top cover being removably fastened to an apex of said first and second outer panels. 5. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, further comprising: a front cover removably attached to a front outside edge of said first and second outer panels and located above said shelf; and,a rear cover removably attached to a rear outside edge of said first and second outer panels. 6. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of adjustable platform jack stands removably attached to an underneath surface of said first and second outer panels respectively; when biased to the unfolded configuration, said first and second outer panels being supported by said platform jack stands; and,a set of steps hingedly attached to a rear end of said center panel and thereby folded up and positioned on said center panel for storage within said storage area. 7. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, wherein said first and second torque shafts lift said first and second outer panels respectively; wherein said first and second torque shafts rotate within said offset brackets and thereby rotate said first and second outer panels between the unfolded and folded configurations respectively. 8. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 1, wherein said first and second clutch-brakes are attached to an inner surface of said shelf; wherein torque is applied to said first and second torque shaft via rotation of said first and second motors and said first and second clutch-brakes respectively. 9. A trailer-mounted platform for being towed behind a vehicle, said trailer-mounted platform comprising: a trailer assembly;a multi-section platform assembly connected to a top of said trailer assembly, said multi-section platform assembly comprising: a shelf attached to a front surface of said base and protruding outwardly above said trailer assembly;a center panel attached to said shelf and permanently attached to an upper surface of said base respectively; and,first and second outer panels pivotally connected to said center panel thereby forming a generally triangular internal storage area above said center panel;a control panel including a switch selectively toggled between on and off configurations;first and second motors located inside said shelf and coupled to said control panel;first and second clutch-brakes located inside said shelf;a first torque shaft connected said first clutch-brake and attached to said first outer panel;a second torque shaft connected to said second clutch-brake and attached to said second outer panel;first and second drive shafts connected to said first and second motors respectively; and,a plurality of offset brackets connected to said first and second drive shafts respectively;wherein said first clutch-brake is connected to said first motor via said first drive shaft;wherein second clutch-brake is connected to said second motor via a second drive shaft;wherein said first and second clutch-brakes are engaged when said switch is at the on configuration; and,wherein said first and second outer panels are selectively articulated between folded and unfolded configurations, said first and second outer panels being horizontally oriented within with said center panel when biased to the unfolded configuration. 10. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 9, wherein said trailer assembly comprises: a base;a pair of runners located on outside lower edges of said base;an A-frame extending out from a front surface of said base;an A-frame jack stand attached to a side surface of said A-frame;a hitch receiver positioned perpendicular to said A-frame and adapted to be connected to an existing ball hitch; and,a first and second wheel pairs located on lower side portions of said runners. 11. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 9, further comprising: a center support removably inserted onto said center panel and thereby supporting said first and second outer panels at the folded configuration, said center support resting on an upper surface of said center panel and having wedge-shaped upper ends connected to said first and second outer panels. 12. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 9, further comprising: a triangular-shaped top cover having open bottom ends mated with longitudinal upper end portions of said first and second outer panels, said top cover being removably fastened to an apex of said first and second outer panels. 13. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 9, further comprising: a front cover removably attached to a front outside edge of said first and second outer panels and located above said shelf; and,a rear cover removably attached to a rear outside edge of said first and second outer panels. 14. The trailer-mounted platform of claim 9, further comprising: a plurality of adjustable platform jack stands removably attached to an underneath surface of said first and second outer panels respectively; when biased to the unfolded configuration, said first and second outer panels being supported by said platform jack stands; and,a set of steps hingedly attached to a rear end of said center panel and thereby folded up and positioned on said center panel for storage within said storage area. 15.
