    I own to many Reitnouers. Wheel well, turn signal, front step build, stainless steel gusset from step to top deck. The load leveler on the top deck is a factory leveler that uses the jhook channel. front corner of the trailer. Basically because it is a Reitnouer step deck that has custom wheel recesses in the deck.

    It is a Ritenour. Good spot there.
    It is heavy, empty weight with truck is 33500.
    @Chinatown nailed it. We haul a lot of cat and case that are overheight, that trailer makes us legal unless it over width, but still no worries on bridge heights.
     
    cke, BigBob410 and Chinatown Thank this.

    Not sure what the weight is based on that figure. I'm at 33800 with a 51.5 combo step RAS.
    How much drop does it give you? What's the main deck height?

    Saw three of y'all's truck and trailer combos rolling through Wisconsin on Saturday, @Aamcotrans - pretty neat stuff. I was telling the wife that I'd asked you about the trailer, in the other thread as I pointed it out.
     
    Oxbow and Aamcotrans Thank this.

    Shoot 33.5k is a good light weight for a step deck. I’m 34 or so with a 48’ aluminum flat and a set of tarps. But I carry a lot of ####.

    Kinda what I was thinking. 48 flat behind a 17 plastipete with all my gear was around 32,7 to 33 depending if I had tarps or not.

    We also own exactly one all aluminum trailer that 250 trucks have to “share”. Everything else’s is combos (mostly) or all steel. I know with my old set up I was 37,500 with a 53’ combo flag and a QuickDraw kit.
