For the tallest, heaviest loads on the road, nothing beats the double drop. Also known as a lowboy, this trailer sits close enough to the ground that cargo can often be driven directly onto the deck, making it the go-to choice for large machinery, construction equipment, and any oversized load that a standard or step deck simply cannot accommodate. Comes standard with headboards, rub rails, and tandem axles.

Ultra-Low Deck Height for Maximum Vertical Clearance The double drop design features two drops in the deck, creating a well in the center of the trailer that sits close to the ground. This gives your cargo the maximum possible vertical clearance for over-the-road transport.
Ground-Level or Near-Ground Loading Because the deck sits so low, heavy machinery and large equipment can often be driven or rolled directly onto the trailer from ground level, eliminating the need for additional loading equipment in many situations.
Built-In Standard Equipment Every lowboy comes with headboards, rub rails, and tandem axles as standard, built to handle the demands of heavy, oversized cargo on a regular basis.
DOT-Inspected and Well-Maintained Every unit is processed at one of our state-of-the-art maintenance facilities and is DOT-inspected before delivery.
The Only Option for the Tallest Loads When a standard flatbed or step deck cannot accommodate the height of your cargo, the lowboy is the solution. It is the go-to trailer for large construction equipment, heavy machinery, and any oversized load where clearance is the primary concern.
Simplifies Loading Heavy Equipment The ability to drive or roll cargo directly onto the deck from ground level is a significant operational advantage. It reduces the need for cranes or additional loading equipment and speeds up the process of getting your load secured and on the road.
Built for the Most Demanding Hauls The lowboy is engineered for weight and size that would stress other trailer types. When the load is serious, this is the trailer that handles it without compromise.
Backed by Eagle Leasing Since 1967 Every trailer in our fleet is maintained at our state-of-the-art facilities and delivered by our professional drivers. Routine maintenance is included free of charge for all rental equipment.
Some flatbeds include a bulkhead — a headache rack at the front of the trailer that protects the tractor cab from shifted loads. If you need a bulkhead for your specific load, request it when you get your quote. Not every flatbed in our fleet is equipped with one.
Flatbeds are built for oversized, oddly shaped, or heavy freight that doesn’t fit in a dry van. Common loads: lumber, steel, machinery, construction equipment, prefab components, pipe, roofing materials, and landscaping supplies. Flatbeds load from any side — and overhead.
Flatbeds themselves aren’t stacked in use. Cargo on a flatbed can be stacked as long as it’s properly secured and within weight and height limits. Max legal load height for an over-the-road flatbed is typically 13’6″ including the trailer deck.
Use the right combination of chains, binders, straps, edge protectors, and tarps based on the cargo. For heavy machinery, chains rated for the load weight are required — typically four-point tie-down minimum. DOT and FMCSA cargo securement rules apply. When in doubt, consult a qualified driver or your shipping manager before loading.
On a road trailer rental, flats caused by road hazards or normal use are covered under our maintenance program. Flats caused by neglect, running on an already-flat tire, or abuse are the renter’s responsibility. Report any tire issue to us right away so we can get you back on the road.
