Step Deck / Drop Deck Trailers for Safely Transporting Tall Loads
Drop deck trailers and double drop deck trailers follow the same basic two-deck design. The main difference, however, is that a double drop deck trailer goes even lower than a drop deck trailer (but not as low as a “lowboy trailer”, which is the lowest trailer of them all).
- Single drop deck trailers have an upper deck that can handle loads 8’5 in height, and a lower deck that can handle 10’2 loads.
- Double drop deck trailers have an upper deck that can handle 10’2 loads, and a lower deck that can handle 11’6 loads.
Always check the height of the equipment before deciding on a step deck trailer for sale.
Aluminum vs Steel
Aluminum drop deck trailers are more durable than steel, but also more expensive. There is also one other unique difference between the two: height. Aluminum step deck trailers are approximately one inch taller than steel trailers, which can make a huge difference with certain types of heavy equipment. If you want the absolute lowest new and used drop deck trailers for sale, go with steel.
Steel and aluminum combinations are also available for a balanced mix of durability and affordability.
