Step deck
The step deck, also called a drop deck, drops the main deck below a flatbed. That is often what saves you a height permit.
Also known as : drop deck, lowered deck trailer
The idea is simple: a short upper deck over the fifth wheel, then a step down to a lower deck running the rest of the trailer. A piece too tall to clear on a flatbed often clears on a step deck with no special permit.
It is the most requested equipment after the standard deck, and the one most often unavailable at peak season. Our network lets us find one when others have run out.
What we load on it

The front neck detaches and the trailer becomes a ramp: rolling machinery drives on from the front.
