Frequently asked questions about double drop deck trailer rental
What is a double drop trailer?
A double drop deck trailer is a flatbed used to transport oversized objects. Its central section sits closer to the pavement, which gives extra overhead space for tall cargo. For other tall loads, Canvec also rents drop deck (step deck) trailers and standard flatbed trailers.
What are the dimensions of your double drop flatbed trailers?
Canvec’s double drop deck trailers are 48′ long on 2 axles (tandem), with a dropped deck length of 27′ 6″. They have air suspension, winches and straps, and a headboard is available. If your cargo is also very long, consider our extendable drop deck trailers, which extend from 53′ to 72′.
What is the difference between a double drop and a step deck trailer?
Both carry loads too tall for a standard flatbed. A step deck (drop deck) trailer has one lowered deck and comes in 48′ and 53′ lengths, tandem or tridem, and suits construction materials and machinery. A double drop lowers its central section even closer to the pavement for extra overhead space. For extra-long loads, see our extendable drop deck trailers.
Can I rent a double drop trailer short term or long term?
Yes, both. Canvec offers short-term flatbed trailer rental on a daily, weekly or monthly basis with delivery and pickup, and long-term trailer leasing with terms of 1 to 10 years and maintenance included. Contact the team with your cargo details to confirm availability.
How should cargo be secured on a double drop flatbed?
Cargo must be securely fastened with straps, chains or other appropriate tie-down equipment, and a tarp can protect materials from the weather. Canvec’s double drop trailers come with winches and straps. Read our flatbed trailer loading tips, and Canvec can help you choose the trailer that matches your cargo’s dimensions and weight.
