Step Deck vs Flat Bed

not sure it flew by me like i was sitting still

 

it was like a step deck that never stepped back up. whats the pros and cons of that trailer over a normal flatbed.. it seems like it would make doing heavy haul and oversized load easier. and if that wind kicks up i wont fall as far to the ground.

 

I see, I've only seen one and it was one of PGT's Worthington trailers with a tarp system so I couldn't see the floor. Looks neat and is really light weight at only 8,000# for a 48x102 according to the brochure, I like how you can put tie downs anywhere.

 

I love how they try to tell everyone they are that light.

 

What do they weight? I don't think 8k would be too far out of the ball park. You can get a standard flat in the mid 9's if your not going for concentrated loads.

 

I found out his heavy lightweight is cause of the lead sled KW he has. He was heavy with the East he had before it also. I think he's around 34k.

 

34K with a "light weight" trailer? Maybe time to do some truck shopping or take the concrete out of the tires.

 

Thats what he's doing.
