Flatbeds
Many trailers are manufactured enclosed so as to protect the contents of the trailer during travel. That said, protecting the contents being transported is not always that important, and sometimes it can be difficult to fit bulky, tall, or large items inside an enclosed trailer. Sometimes referred to as float, high boy trailers, or flat decks, flatbeds are trailers without sides or a ceiling in order to fit larger equipment. A flatbed that’s 16 ft. long weighs approximately 1,600 lbs while a 20 ft. trailer weighs around 2,000 lbs.
Drop Deck Trailers
Sometimes referred to as step-deck trailers, drop deck trailers are similar to flatbeds. The only difference being that drop deck trailers allow the user to drop below the height of a typical flatbed which makes it a great option for hauling haul freight. Drop deck trailers are equipped with a flip axle which helps to improve truck balance and normally are accompanied by two or more axles. Lengths of drop-deck trailers typically range anywhere from 25 ft. to 29 ft.
