Choose Us for Step Deck Trucking Needs

A step deck trailer is needed when the cargo is too tall for a flatbed trailer. Use a step deck truck to haul loads without having the need to obtain special permits for exceeding the legal height limit. These trailers have a lower and upper deck that makes it easier to load and unload equipment, especially with a forklift.

Some of the types of step deck trailers include, fixed-neck, gooseneck, or removable gooseneck. A fixed-neck trailer has limited options, compared to a removable gooseneck that can be loaded either on the front or back of the trailer. A step deck trailer typically has a lower deck height of 3 feet 6 inches.

You can also choose a lowboy, which has two axles and is capable of carrying cargo up to 12 feet high and with a load capacity of 70,000 lb. A step deck trailer can only carry cargo up to 10 feet for the main deck and 8.5 feet for the front deck, and has a load capacity of 48,000 lb.
