Low-Clearance & Height Capacities
Legal Height Optimization: Dropping the main well to 34–42 inches provides up to 26 inches of additional vertical clearance over standard flatbeds, legally accommodating cargo up to 10’8″ tall without requiring oversized height permits.
Overpass & Corridor Clearance: Maintains standard legal 13’6″ overall height limits, allowing seamless transit beneath low-clearance bridges, toll gantries, and overhead utility lines.
Dual-Level Deck Planning: The 11–13ft upper deck accommodates auxiliary attachments, toolboxes, or secondary freight, while the 40–42ft lower well houses tall primary equipment.
Tall Industrial Cargo Safety Configurations
Direct Multi-Point Securement: Outfitted with Grade 70/80 high-test transport chains, heavy-duty ratcheting binders, and direct deck stake-pocket anchors to lock down heavy skids, tracked excavators, and wheeled loaders.
Low Center-of-Gravity Loading: Engineered load positioning balances weight across tractor and trailer tandem axles, minimizing vehicle roll and dynamic sway during OTR transit.
Surface & Property Care: Heavy-duty vulcanized rubber friction pads prevent metal-on-metal sliding, while reinforced edge protectors shield hydraulic hoses, structural paint, and machined edges from strap abrasion.
Pre-Trip Route Verification: Every tall load undergoes clearance checks along planned shipping corridors to guarantee zero structural hazards or transport delays.
