Flatbed

Drop Deck

When your load is too tall for a standard flatbed but does not need the lowest deck height of a lowboy, the drop deck is the right call. Also known as a step deck, this trailer has a lowered main deck that gives you extra vertical clearance for taller cargo without requiring a permit for every haul. Perfect for equipment, machinery, and oversized materials that need that extra few inches of headroom. Comes standard with headboards, rub rails, and tandem axles.

Features

Lowered Main Deck for Taller Loads The drop deck design features a lower main deck behind the gooseneck, giving your cargo additional vertical clearance compared to a standard flatbed. This allows taller equipment and materials to be transported legally without requiring an oversized load permit in many cases.

Built-In Standard Equipment Every drop deck comes with headboards, rub rails, and tandem axles as standard. The two-level design also makes it easier to load and secure cargo at a more accessible deck height.

Versatile for a Wide Range of Cargo The step deck handles everything from construction equipment and machinery to oversized industrial materials that fall into that middle ground between a standard flatbed and a lowboy.

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.

Benefits

The Right Tool for Taller Cargo When your load is too tall for a standard flatbed but does not require the full ground clearance of a lowboy, the step deck fills that gap precisely. It gives you the height you need without overcomplicating the haul.

Avoid Oversize Permits When Possible The lowered deck height means many taller loads can be transported without triggering oversize permit requirements that would apply on a standard flatbed. That saves time, paperwork, and cost on loads that fall in that in-between range.

Easier Loading at a Comfortable Height The lower deck makes it more manageable to load and secure cargo compared to a standard flatbed, especially for equipment that is being driven or rolled onto the trailer rather than lifted by crane.

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.
