    I've been searching this forum, but coming up short. I'm about to buy another step deck, but wanted to know the difference in weight between 48-53ft, all aluminum, steel, combination, etc. If you have a flat, give your specs and post your weight as well, so maybe it can help someone else. Weight is very important, but willing to sacrifice a little.

    Would prefer you give the following, but anything is better than nothing...

    -Flat or step
    -Dimensions(LxW)
    -Composition
    -If combination, what material is the floor/wheels?
    -Does your weight include equipment? If so, what do you think the dry weight is if you never weighed empty?

    Anything else, post it up. Thanks!
