Load them using an AGV.

Option1. Set the AGV type to attach loads as a trailer.

Option2. In code use the AGV's method for attaching trailers.

Option3. Use the custom code activity in a process flow:

Consider using pallet for the loaded items and attaching the pallet as a trailer

Could you share a model which has loading onto a pallet? Since pallet is a flow item too.

As it say, a queue is a fixed resource object. It is by default motionless. You can move a queue onto a vehicle or a container item, which becomes a trailer.

OR you set a queue invisible and you put only your items onto a vehicle or container item.

Or you replace your queue right away by a vehicle or container.
