Double Drop
A specialized trailer with two drops in the deck, creating an even lower center section for extremely tall loads.
Detailed Explanation
Double drop trailers have a dropped section in both the front and rear of the trailer, with the lowest point in the middle. This design maximizes the height of cargo that can be transported while staying under the 13.6-foot federal height limit. They are used for industrial equipment, large transformers, and other extra-tall loads.
