We’d love to know why you need a custom built heavy step deck trailer.
We start by conducting a thorough assessment to understand your specific trailer needs. Our in-house engineering team then develops detailed custom designs. Through review and collaboration these designs are refined until they are approved. Then they move to our skilled production team, which includes machinists, welders, and finishers. This process begins with a no-pressure consultation with one of our lead trailer design specialists.
You have the option between a tandem (2-Axle) or tridem (3-Axle) with axle spreads of 49”, 60”, or 72”.
Steerable lift axles can also be added.
Our Loadstar heavy duty step deck trailer can be built in the following models to support the following load capacities:
35-TON | 50-TON
The upper deck extends over the gooseneck, allowing for standard loading, while the lower deck sits closer to the ground, providing greater height clearance for taller cargo. Step decks are ideal for mixed loads.
Step deck trailers are available with 2 to 5 axle configurations. Our 4-axle models include one self-steerable axle, while our 5-axle models feature two self-steerable axles based on your load capacity needs and local regulations.
Our heavy step deck trailers are equipped with a rugged gooseneck designed to connect to fifth-wheel transports, enabling efficient weight distribution and a secure connection ideal for hauling substantial loads.
Our step decks can be fitted with a beavertail with air ramps or spring-assisted ramps, or configured with a straight deck without ramps. Ramps are available in paver or excavator configurations to suit specific needs.
Our solid frames are built with continuous main rails made from high-tensile, heavy-duty steel, engineered to reliably carry up to 50 tons while maintaining structural integrity under the ongoing stresses of heavy loads.
All Loadstar Trailers, including our heavy step deck models, meet the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) and U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), guaranteeing that your trailer is safe and legal for the road.
Our commitment to building heavy step deck trailers that meet your exact specifications. The expert team at Loadstar works with you to understand your unique hauling needs and tailors each trailer to your requirements.
For those heavy haulers or operators new not only to Loadstar Trailers but also to the world of heavy step deck trailers, we hope the following provides you with a clear understanding of the versatility and strength of the heavy step deck!
Step deck trailers, also known as drop deck trailers, are designed to haul taller cargo that exceeds the height restrictions of standard flatbed trailers. Loadstar Trailers specializes in building custom step deck trailers with capacities of 35 and 50 tons, making them ideal for transporting a variety of materials, heavy equipment, and machinery. The design of a step deck trailer allows for lower overall load height without compromising load capacity, making it the go-to choice for many in construction, energy, and industrial sectors.
A step deck trailer, also called a drop deck, is a flatbed trailer with a lower deck that drops down after the gooseneck, creating two levels for loading. The lower deck height allows taller cargo to be transported without exceeding the legal height limit. This design makes step deck trailers perfect for hauling construction equipment, large machinery, and industrial components that require extra height clearance. Our custom-built step deck trailers are tailored to your needs, ensuring they meet the demands of heavy haul applications while complying with regulatory standards.
The lower deck height is the primary advantage of step deck trailers, allowing them to haul taller loads without exceeding road height limits. This makes them ideal for transporting items like construction equipment, stacked materials, and oversized machinery that doesn’t require a lowboy.
With two deck levels, step deck trailers can carry a wide range of cargo types, from machinery to materials. The flat solid decks are ideal for skids and cargo that requires a flat stable surface. Their versatility makes them useful across multiple industries, including construction, agriculture, and logistics.
The lower deck not only provides more height clearance but also makes it easier to load and unload equipment. For those who choose air ramps, loading is simplified and more efficient. The option to have no ramps gives you the flexibility to match your exact operational needs.
Heavy-duty step deck trailers are designed for large loads, with reinforced frames and decks that can handle the demands of frequent heavy hauling. Built to last, these trailers are made from high-quality materials and parts, ensuring lasting performance and minimal downtime with proper maintenance.
We design specialized heavy hauling lowboy systems based on the specific needs of our clients that are rated to carry 85+ tons by adding jeep dollies, pin-on-alxes, and boosters.
