Tandem Axle Drop Deck Trailers

Choose from 40 to 53 foot drop deck trailer that includes the extra security and weight bearing capacity of a tandem axle trailer design. Designed to make heavy and extra tall loads easier to maneuver, the lower bed of the steel drop deck trailer has a low center of gravity that grants more height clearance to work with.
