Drop Deck / Step Deck Trailers for Sale

Drop Deck / Step Deck Trailers — Heavy-Duty & Australian-Made

Working from our Ballarat facility, Beavertrail Trailers are experts in manufacturing drop deck trailers designed to handle what a standard flatbed trailer cannot.

Whether you require a tandem axle or a tri-axle arrangement, our high-quality engineering allows you to go the distance while providing the stability you need.

Our drop deck trailers are the top choice for those who need to comply with road regulations while prioritising reliability. Beavertrial Trailers are used with confidence by earthmoving companies, as well as crane hire operators, and transport firms.

We match your transport operation’s unique requirements, with every drop deck trailer sale being custom-made to order. You can count on the deck length, style of ramp, and load ratings being the perfect fit.

What Is a Drop Deck Trailer?

For your most challenging transport tasks across Australia, our new drop deck trailers for sale offer the vertical wiggle room you need while maintaining robust structural integrity through a lower centre of gravity.

• Versatility: A drop deck trailer (also known as a step deck or lowboy) configuration comprises two deck levels to offer flexibility for the height of your deck.
• Load Capabilities: Unlike an average flatbed trailer, this is a specialised semi-trailer with the two levels being able to accommodate both tall and heavy loads.
• Height Advantage: Drop deck trailers allow you to overcome the constant battle of Australian roads and their wide range of legal height limits. Having the option to drop the height of your main platform, allows you to place your heavy cargo lower to the ground (the “well”) so you’re no longer exceeding average deck heights and can hit the road with confidence.

Our trailers are Australian-made, and we’ve been in the business since 1987, so you can trust that your drop deck trailer meets every one of your requirements.
