Abstract:	Hydraulic Modular Trailer (HMT) is one of the safest way to transport heavy and over dimensional objects on road. Gross laden weight of HMT is fixed based on permitted load per axle as per standards. To have higher pay load capacity, unladen weight of the HMT should be optimum. Major load (unladen) of the HMT is shared by the frame hence weight optimization can be done to increase the payload capacity of the trailer. In this paper, parametric model of the benchmarked frame is prepared using SHELL63 4node elastic element in ANSYS APDL language. Frame is optimized using design optimization module available in ANSYS using first order optimization method.
