Wood Decking for Dropdeck

now that's what i call a fast turn around. they are about their business.

 

what is the difference in weight of a combo vs. all steel

 

I had an '87 Transcraft that had apitong flooring from the factory.

 

I had a 48' Reinke combo and I got rid of it and got a 48' Ravens with exactly the same gear, Spare tire carrier and two boxes mounted between the axles. The weight difference between those two trailers is about 1,800 pounds.

 

About 1k lbs according to transcraft. First I found when searching "Approx. 11,890 lbs. w/standard options" steel with wood floor, "Approx. 10,760 lbs. w/standard options" combo. You can get an all alum flat as low as 7800 lbs. All 48x102"

 

yeah i was on transcraft's website earlier,it's about 1k pounds difference in weight.

 

Small world. Not that I would ever think about buying another Transcraft regardless of weight or price but their the only company I could think of that sold both types of flats.

 

is there a problem with transcraft? aside from the issue they had with the paint? i know fontaine now offers the lifetime warranty on the xtreme beam.

 

every transcraft i have seen the frame cracks at the suspension mounting points and must be strengthened and their paint is ####

 

i'll be sure to keep a close eye on mine,maybe i'll get a good deal on a Fontaine.oh yeah if anybody's looking for a 07' Fontaine combo flat,let me know there's one in my area for sale $16k
