Drop Deck trailers are also called step decks. They are generally platforms with no roof, sides or doors. The first deck is level with the back of the tractor and the second deck is lower to the ground. Some drop deck trailers have aluminum decks, while others have decks made of wood. They are used just like regular flatbed trailers, except that the load on the second deck can be taller without fear of exceeding height restrictions. They are often used to haul machinery and are considered safer to load with a forklift than conventional flatbed trailers. Some drop deck trailers have ramps to make loading and unloading even easier.

There are many facets to choosing a drop deck trailer. The length of each deck is one important factor. Many have upper decks that are 10 feet in length and lower decks that are 43 feet in length, so the total length is 53 feet. The material that the decks are made of and the trailer tire size may also be factors, along with the spacing of the axles. Think about the loads you will likely be hauling on the trailer to find the best fit. Be sure to call the phone number in the listing if you have any questions about a particular trailer, as drop deck trailers vary greatly in dimensions and features.

  • Winches
  • Chains
