Flatbed Trucking

Flatbed Stretch Trailer and RGN (removable goose neck) Stretch are simply trailers that have the ability to extend their frames to accommodate loads longer than 53? for transport

Drop Deck, or Step Deck trailers are very similar to a standard flatbed trailer. However, these types of trailers are designed for moving equipment that is above the legal height of 8? 6?. These types of trailers are also available with ramps to allowing them to be loaded with equipment that can be driven onto the trailer. Most drop deck trailers can carry freight up to 10? 6? tall without over-dimensional permitting. Additional drop deck types include: drop deck 2 or 3 Axle, extendable (stretch) drop deck, drop deck 2 axle spread

Double Drop Deck has an upper deck in the front and a deck in the rear. The middle section of the trailer is often referred to as the well of the trailer. These trailers are useful for transporting tall or over-height freights (see HEAVY HAUL TRUCKING). Double drop trailers can typically carry freight up to 12? 6? high and some even have an extendable variation. Removable Gooseneck (RGN) is another type of drop deck and most commonly used for moving heavy equipment and a variety of oversized freight. This type of trailer with a detachable upper deck is also referred to as a Lowboy or Double Drop Deck with detachable deck.

A Conestoga trailer is a covered flatbed with an accordian-type type curtain where the top and sides fold all the way to the front of the trailer.

Much like the Conestoga, a curtain van is a covered flatbed where just the side curtains can slide open and closed.

Maxi type trailers are very common for our customers in the Northwest that have freight with a gross weight of up to 105,500lb requiring extra axles on the truck and trailer (see HEAVY HAUL TRUCKING).
