    Twice now I have seen front end loaders on step decks where the outer parts of the deck appear to be lowered for the wheels. Cant seem to find who makes it or what it's called.

    Dovetail with ramps or something else?

    Hard to tell exactly what you mean without a picture.

    Looks like it was designed to keep that front end loader from being over height.
    The trailer is still high enough to go over uneven roads and construction sites without getting stuck.
    That's my guess.

    Custom build. Not sure the brand.
    The inserts for the wheel wells, makes it a flat deck.
    Must be a bit on the heavy side with all the extra.

    Well the one pictured is a Reitnouer. But I'm sure other manufactures will build custom setups like that.

    What is the giveaway that it's a Reitnouer?
