Buying a step deck. Should I get the ramps too?

isnt recognized everywhere and therefore penalizes you when you are limited to less weight bc of the weight of axles suspension wheels tires

 

Not to mention more tires to buy?

 

You’re generating more revenue, with increased efficiency. The additional tires are part of the tool necessary to do that.

The 2 middle axles are liftable, when not in use. But, the additional weight can be a hindrance, outside the market area. It’s a specific operation (quad) for a specific area (steel belt) and specific usage (hauling steel).

 

So you can haul more coils, let's say? Do you need overweight permits, or does the fact that having more axles handling their specific allowance negate the permit?

 

The hindrance being that because they add more overall weight to the trailer, you will be relegated to hauling less weight when not hauling steel, let's say?

 

Absolutely get the ramps, adds more versatility to the loads you can move and most places I every loaded and offloaded did not have any ramps on site.
they are especialy nice if you have clients that say, yeh just drop it outside the gate if we are not open, I did that quite often, but that might just be an alberta thing and it eas with dedicated clients, not load board stuff.
