Drop Deck and Double Drop Deck Trailer Transport

Drop deck trailers provide you with extended clearance for extra-tall hauls. Compared to flatbeds, step-deck trailers supply you with a foot or more of extra clearance for your overheight cargo. Still too tall to travel? Double drop-deck trailers give you two feet or more of extra clearance room. For that extra-long and extra-tall load, we supply extended-length stretch drop deck trailers too.

Double Drop Deck Trailer vs. Lowboy Trailer

There are several differences between an double drop decktrailer and a lowboy trailer. Both are versatile trailers that are used for hauling heavy equipment and oversize loads. However, while an double drop deck detaches from the front allowing it to be used as a ramp for drivable equipment, the lowboy trailer is loaded from the rear and can’t be dropped any lower. Lowboys have an additional benefit of being able to add axles for increased weight capacity. This, along with the dropdown feature, allows for taller and heavier equipment to be transported without additional permits. Double drop deck trailers have a low center of gravity, usually making it more stable. At Heavy Haulers, our transport specialists will determine whether an double drop deck trailer or lowboy trailer is the best option for your oversize load. Call now! (800) 908-6206
