East designs low-slung dropdeck trailer

Mar 7, 2012

East Manufacturing now offers an all-aluminum dropdeck trailer with a low-slung 36-inch deck height to provide less need for partial dismantling of the load to get it below the 13-foot 6-inch maximum legal height.

Its lower center of gravity helps improve stability for loads of unusual sizes and shapes, while the all-aluminum frame is designed to balance strength and weight to optimize payloads. The trailer is available in multi-axle configurations in lengths up to 53 feet.
