Drop Deck Trailers

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.

How Much Can a Double Drop Deck Trailer Handle?

The whole design of a double drop deck trailer is based on the need to drive something onto the platform for easier loading of heavy vehicles. So, what are the legal limits for transporting on one? The height and width allowances for your double drop deck trailer shipment are each 8.5 feet. The legal limit for length is 48 feet, but some double drop trailers measure 53 feet. Your trailer can handle 48,000 pounds of cargo, which can be easily loaded and unloaded because of its lowered deck.

LTL and Partial Load Double Drop Deck Shipping Services

An LTL load is less than a full load, whereas a partial load falls between an LTL and a full load. When you need to ship smaller freight loads, LTL shipping services from Heavy Haulers can save you money. When you have only a part of the double drop deck trailer loaded, other businesses with small shipments can use the remaining space. With each customer sharing the trailer, each one pays a lower fee. In addition to the savings, an LTL or partial load is generally placed on pallets and wrapped, if necessary. Your shipment rides more securely when palletized.


At Heavy Haulers, we take pride in offering the best double drop deck shipping services in all 50 states. Our experienced drivers deliver your LTL load safely and efficiently to any U.S. destination you choose. Your professional double drop deck transport will have all the pilot cars and escort cars needed for the move, Heavy Haulers will make sure of it.
