Hydraulic drop deck trailers offer several benefits over standard flatbed trailers. Primarily, drop deck trailers have a hydraulic lifting mechanism that allows the deck to lower to ground level, enabling easier and safer loading and unloading of heavy equipment without the need for additional ramps or docks. This feature minimizes the risk of damage to the cargo and prevents potential injuries during the loading process. Additionally, these trailers have a lower center of gravity during transport, increasing stability and safety when hauling tall or heavy items.

A typical 14 ft. tandem axle hydraulic drop deck trailer can safely support weights of up to 10,000 lbs, making them suitable for heavier and larger equipment. While a 10 ft. single axle model has a capacity of up to 5,000 lbs, designed for medium-duty hauls. Consider the weight and dimensions of the cargo you plan to transport to ensure maximum efficiency and safety for your project needs.

Open-sided trailers are easy to access with an exposed loading area, ideal for hauling unconventionally shaped tools and oversized equipment or materials. While enclosed trailers provide security and protection for your cargo, ideal for transporting tools and equipment that are sensitive towards outside elements, like dust, debris and adverse weather.
