The trailer 10 is a trailer 10 for a folding camper wherein an accommodation space is arranged to be folded out of the trailer 10 at a final destination. The present invention provides a modular hoist 40 which is stored within a hoist storage compartment 50 mounted on the trailer 10. The modular hoist 40 can be mounted to and secured to the trailer 10 and it can then be used to raise and lower the auxiliary equipment to or from upper securement rails 20, 22. In use, a motorbike or other auxiliary equipment is initially secured within a transportation frame 60 on the ground adjacent to the trailer 10. This may comprise locating the wheels of the motorbike in or on a bogey 62 and then securing an upper frame 66 and straps 68 to a lower frame 61. Once secured, attachment means 49 located on the end of a flexible hoist member 48 can be secured to the upper frame 66. Once secured, the modular hoist 40 can then be operated to raise the auxiliary equipment and the transportation frame 60 to the required height. Once the transportation frame 60 has been raised and at the required height, the transportation frame 60 can then be pivoted relative to a mounting bracket 30 in a horizontal plane in order for the transportation frame 60 to locate above the securement rails 20, 22 on top of the trailer 10. The transportation frame 60 is then locked to the securement rails 20, 22. The auxiliary equipment is thereby easily mounted to the top of the trailer 10 and can be transported with the trailer 10. The hoist 40 is transported in a storage compartment 50 such that the hoist 40 can be subsequently used to dismount the auxiliary equipment at the destination.
