Step deck and drop deck trailers provide a few more feet of clearance for the tall load. Stretch trailers offer the option turning that load on its side to remain legal.

These trailers also carry oversized cargo within routine permit limits.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/2" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid"][vc_column_text]<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3744" src="http://lonestar-llc.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Lonestar_3-3.jpg" alt="Speciality Truck Driving" width="481" height="302" />[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/1" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid"][vc_column_text]

It’s also called the single drop deck.

The step deck trailer has two levels. Unlike a standard flatbed, the step deck’s bed drops down after clearing the tractor. The top deck is 60” off the ground. The lower main deck is about 2’ lower than the front deck.

Step deck trucking is used for tall loads. Step deck trailers can carry legal loads with cargo up to 10’ high. They commonly haul construction vehicles, machinery and heavy freight that’s over 9’ tall.

Because step deck trailers are so low, forklifts can load them from ground level. When equipped with removable goosenecks, their cargo can roll to the ground.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
