When specialized & heavy haul is the right choice
Step-deck, lowboy / RGN, double-drop, extendable, and multi-axle trailers handle loads that exceed standard van and flatbed limits. Pick specialized when permits and escorts come into play — not for routine open-deck freight.
- •Cargo exceeds standard van/flatbed dimensions (over 8'6" wide, 13'6" tall, or 80,000 lbs gross)
- •Step-deck, lowboy / RGN (removable gooseneck), double-drop, or extendable required
- •Construction equipment, industrial machinery, transformers, turbines, or modular structures
- •Permits, escorts, route surveys, or pilot cars are part of the move
- →Standard dimensions, weather-sensitive cargo — dry van
- →Standard dimensions, open-deck OK — flatbed (faster and cheaper than specialized)
- →Temperature-controlled — refrigerated (reefer)
- →Less than truckload quantity — LTL or partial truckload
