Equipment
Step Deck Trucking
An upper and a lower deck for freight that is tall, but not tall or heavy enough to need a lowboy.
What It Is
What a Step Deck Does
A step deck, sometimes called a drop deck, has a short upper deck over the tractor and a longer lower deck behind it. That drop gives tall freight more legal height than a standard flatbed, while the open deck still loads easily from the side, with a forklift or by crane.
For many machines and crated loads, a step deck is the practical middle ground: more clearance than a flatbed, without the permits and planning a lowboy move can require.
Crated & Palletized
Tall palletized and crated freight, secured and protected for the trip.
Building Materials
Building and industrial materials headed to job sites, yards and plants.
How We Handle It
How We Handle Step Deck Loads
We confirm dimensions and weight, check whether the load stays legal or needs an oversize permit, and plan securement around how the freight is built. If height or width calls for a permit, our in-house permit service handles it. And if a lowboy or RGN would serve the load better, we will say so up front.
Step deck loads get the same attention as our heaviest moves: proper tie-downs, edge protection where it is needed, and securement checks along the route.
