A transporter, particularly a trailer 1, for a vehicle, particularly an excavator having tracks 10, has a ramp 22 that when closed acts as a wall or tailgate of the transporter. The ramp has an adjustable stop 30 extensible inwardly to contact a part of the carried vehicle. Typically stop 30 extends from a knee 28 of ramp 22 and engages a dozer blade 12 of a carried excavator, and retracts into knee 28 when ramp 22 is opened. Stop 30 may comprise a metal sleeve (34, Figure 3) accommodating a ram (36, Figure 3) having a bolt (38, Figure 3) for abutting dozer blade 12; ram 36 may be threaded to allow manual extension and retraction. The transporter may also have a clamp 16 that automatically engages tracks 10 when a vehicle is driven onto platform 2 of trailer 1.
