In fact it is illegal to have people on a moving trailer......read the manual.
" What is so ironic about parade safety is that just about every float in a parade is erected or built on top of a utility trailer, and every utility trailer manufacturer will list a Warning in bold letters that usually says, “Do not transport people on your trailer. Besides putting their lives at risk, the transport of people on a trailer is illegal.” Yes in most states it’s also illegal to transport people in a utility trailer, but local officials will turn a blind eye during a parade.
