Stretch Deck Options

Stretch single-drop deck trailers are designed to carry and haul truckloads that are too long for the length restrictions of a standard or traditional step deck. They provide extra support, preventing freight overhang. The lowered main deck allows plenty of room for taller loads that exceed the height limit of a regular flatbed stretch trailer. With 35 to 63 feet of flatbed deck length, the stretch single drop trailer is ideal for overlength freight shipments. We start with timely door-to-door service, and we help with in-depth details like permitting, routing, clearances, inspections, and tarps.
