Drop Deck Trailers

new drop deck trailer for sale

Great Western Leasing offers a wide variety of drop deck trailers for sale, rent, and lease that will work with your application. Drop deck trailers or step deck trailers are built much like flatbed trailers, except they have a “gooseneck” which drops the trailer height to a lower level behind the tractor. A drop deck trailer's lower deck height allows for a taller load, as well as a lower center of gravity for a heavy load. Drop deck trailers are generally between 48’ to 53’ long and between 96” and 102” wide. Drop deck trailers are made of steel, aluminum or a combination of the steel and aluminum. Great Western Leasing has an extensive inventory of new and used drop deck trailers to fit your needs.

Drop decks trailers are versatile, but they are better for hauling tall loads than long loads. The gooseneck shortens up the “effective length” of the loadable deck. Common names for Drop deck trailers include:
