    My boss is looking for an extendable dropdeck but has not found exactly what he is looking for. I did some quick searches and have not come up with anything yet either. All the 53' trailers that are coming up are Cali legal with overhang in the rear. He wants a tri-axle with no overhang that will open up to 70' when extended. I have pulled either Manac or Fontaine 48/65' tri-axle drops in the past with no overhang but do not recall if I have ever seen a 53' drop with no overhang.

    Does anyone make a 53' extendable without overhang?

    Thanks for any info you might be able to share.

    Yeah, but you may have to order it. I'm pretty sure truckpaper has some new Manac's on it with the tridem to the rear

    Order it with either a 60" or 72" axle spacing and that will push the axles to the rear.

    We have a 57' triaxle stretch with the wheels all the way to the back. It was made by Trail King, but it has open wheel wells.
