Heavy Duty Trailers

Chip-trailers or tip trailers are specifically designed to carry the largest possible volume of chips. The trailers are often constructed of light weight material (i.e. aluminum) and have a ‘possum-belly’ to maximize capacity.

A drop deck flatbed is a platform semi-trailer with no roof, sides and doors, and it has two deck levels. The floor drops down after it clears the tractor unit. The lower deck allows for hauling taller loads than a regular straight floor flatbed. Drop Decks are also known as Step Decks and Lowboy trailers.

A flatbed trailer is a typical open deck equipment that has no roof nor sides. It is mainly used for transporting heavy, oversized, wide and indelicate goods such as machinery, building supplies or equipment. The flatly shaped body makes it much easier to load and unload goods.

Heavy haul trailers are specialized vehicles utilized for transporting oversized or overweight cargo. They are typically wider than standard trailers and often feature a raised platform to elevate the cargo above ground level. Heavy haul trucking encompasses a broad spectrum of tasks, ranging from transporting massive pieces of equipment to moving substantial volumes of goods.

A tag trailer is a type of semitrailer that typically features a single axle or axle group located towards the rear of its load carrying surface. This trailer is connected to the towing vehicle via a rigid drawbar or pintle hitch.

The bottom dump trailer, also referred to as a belly dump trailer, is designed with a dump gate that has a clamshell design, enabling the materials to be released directly from the bottom of the container. This feature allows for windrowing of the materials as they are being dumped.

End dumps are specialized vehicles equipped with an open-top box used for transporting and depositing materials. To unload the contents, the box is mechanically lifted into the air, and the forward-most section is raised while the rear portion remains close to the ground. This action allows for the contents to be discharged out of the back of the box.

A dry van is a type of semi-trailer that provides complete enclosure to protect the cargo from external elements. Dry vans are typically used for transporting boxed, palletized, or loose freight that doesn't require temperature control (in contrast to refrigerated "reefer" units) or oversized shipments (in contrast to flatbed trailers).

A refrigerated container or reefer is an intermodal container used in intermodal freight transport that is capable of refrigeration for the transportation of temperature-sensitive, perishable cargo such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and other similar items.
