Deckover Trailers
Deckover trailers are built for hauling wide, heavy, and oversized loads. Unlike standard utility or car hauler trailers, deckover trailers have the deck built over the wheels, giving you a full-width flat platform with no fender wells in the way. If you need maximum space, versatility, and easier side loading, a deckover is the way to go.
Key Features of Deckover Trailers
-
Full-Width Deck: Deckovers usually measure 96" (8 feet) wide, offering a completely flat surface for hauling pallets, equipment, or irregular cargo.
-
Higher Deck Height: Because the deck sits above the tires, deck height is typically 34"–40" from the ground.
-
Heavy-Duty Capacity: Many deckover trailers are built with higher GVWRs, dual axles, and reinforced frames to handle serious loads.
-
Rub Rail and Stake Pockets: Standard features that make it easier to secure wide or oddly-shaped cargo with chains or straps.
-
Dovetail Options: Many deckovers offer a sloped rear dovetail and flip-down ramps to make loading easier, especially for low-clearance equipment.
-
Treated Wood or Steel Decks: Most decks are made from pressure-treated wood for durability, but some heavy-duty models offer steel diamond plate floors.
