Step deck trailer for tall machinery and equipment

Tall machinery the step deck carries

The step deck, also called a drop deck, moves tall machinery and equipment that would clear too high on a flat deck. The two-level design drops the cargo lower to the ground, adding vertical clearance so taller loads travel legally without a height permit. Long Road runs this trailer as part of its oversize and heavy haul work and across its wider equipment fleet. Typical loads include:

• Machinery and industrial equipment
• Generators and tanks
• Crated equipment
• Structural steel and building materials

Step deck specifications

The trailer carries a 53' total length across two decks, an upper deck for shorter freight and a longer lower deck for the tall pieces. Its specifications:

• Total length: 53'
• Upper deck: 11' long at 4'8" deck height
• Lower deck: 42' long at 3' deck height
• Weight: 10,000 lbs

Step deck as a flatbed alternative

When a load stays within legal height, width, and weight, the step deck stands in for a standard flatbed. It handles standard deck freight the same way a flatbed does, and Long Road runs it on those loads once the customer confirms the cargo is non-overweight and non-over-dimension.
