Overview

Built for heavy loads and long roads.

TRT Drop Decks are built for reliable heavy haulage, with both standard and extendable options available to suit different load types. Standard Drop Decks are ideal for general freight and machinery, while extendable Drop Decks give operators extra deck length for longer loads.


Features

Standard and extendable options

Choose a fixed-length Drop Deck for everyday heavy haulage, or an extendable model for longer freight and oversized loads.

  • Low deck height

    A lower deck helps manage taller loads and improve transport flexibility across a wide range of applications.

  • Heavy-duty construction

    Built tough for demanding haulage conditions, with durable materials and TRT’s proven trailer engineering.

  • Flexible load capability

    Suitable for machinery, equipment, structural freight and other heavy transport tasks.

  • Extendable deck length

    Extendable models open out to provide additional deck space for longer loads such as beams, pipes and tower sections.

  • Forklift-rated deck options

    Standard models can be specified with a steel plate, forklift-rated deck for practical loading and unloading.

  • Built and supported by TRT

    Designed, manufactured and backed by TRT with parts, service and technical support.
