Types of Trailers

Flatbed trailers are some of the most versatile options for hauling freight, ideal for carrying large or irregularly shaped cargo. With an open deck design, they accommodate oversized loads that cannot fit in standard enclosed trailers.

Specifications:
Length: 48-53 feet
Width: 8.5 feet
Max Weight: 48,000 pounds

Uses: Ideal for building materials, pipes, and machinery.

Double drop decks are designed for extremely tall and heavy loads. With a low central well, these trailers allow for the transportation of cargo that exceeds height limits. They are ideal for moving construction equipment and oversized machinery.

Specifications:
Length: 48-53 feet
Width: 8.5 feet
Well Length: 25-29 feet
Max Weight Capacity: 40,000 pounds

Uses: Great for transporting tall equipment like cranes and industrial machinery.

Multi-axle trailers are engineered for transporting very heavy loads that require additional axles for proper weight distribution. These trailers are commonly used for oversized, heavy-duty equipment and cargo that exceed standard road weight limits.

Specifications:
Length: Varies based on configuration
Width: 8.5 feet
Axles: 3 to 20+ axles
Max Weight: 200,000+ pounds

Uses: Designed for transporting extremely heavy loads such as turbines, transformers, and construction machinery.

RGN trailers are designed for easy loading of heavy equipment. The front of the trailer detaches, allowing cargo to be driven directly onto the deck. These trailers are ideal for transporting heavy, self-propelled machinery.

Specifications:
Length: 29-65 feet
Width: 8.5 feet
Max Weight Capacity: Up to 150,000 pounds with multi-axle configurations

Uses: Ideal for heavy equipment like bulldozers, cranes, and excavators.

Lowboy trailers are used to transport tall and heavy loads that exceed standard height limits. With a low deck height, these trailers accommodate construction machinery and industrial equipment that cannot be transported on regular trailers.

Specifications:
Length: 24-29 feet (deck)
Width: 8.5 feet
Max Weight Capacity: 80,000 pounds

Uses: Best for transporting heavy equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, and cranes.

Step deck trailers, also known as drop deck trailers, are designed to haul taller loads without exceeding legal height limits. These trailers have a lower deck, which allows for the transportation of larger equipment without requiring permits for over-height loads.

Specifications:
Length: 48-53 feet
Width: 8.5 feet
Deck Height: Upper deck (60 inches), lower deck (38-40 inches)
Max Weight: 48,000 pounds

Uses: Perfect for transporting machinery, equipment, and oversized freight.
