A transport apparatus for moving an elongated object includes a trailer frame with a tilting rear frame section pivotally attached to a front frame section. Rear wheels are mounted under the rear frame section rearward of the tilt axis, and an actuator pivots the rear frame section upward about the tilt axis from a horizontal lowered position to a vertical raised position. An engagement mechanism on a rear end of the rear frame section rearward of the rear wheels moves downward into engagement with a receiver on the object when the rear frame section moves upward. When the rear frame section moves upward to the raised position adjacent to the object, the rear wheels are raised above the ground. A lock secures the object to the tilting rear frame. Moving the tilting rear frame section downward moves the object downward to a horizontal transport position resting on the trailer frame.
