Drop side rail deck

THE LOAD RIDES LOWER.
15" AT THE SIDE RAILS.

On a drop side rail lowboy, also called a dropside or cantilever deck lowboy, the deck's side rails sit lower than its main rails, so the load rides lower. On the 360NG-DSR the loaded deck height is 15" at the side rails and 23" at the main rails, with 6" ground clearance. The main rails measure 48" outside to outside.

It is built for transporting massive construction and mining equipment under extreme loads: a removable gooseneck and a low-deck profile accommodate tall machinery like large excavators while ensuring maximum stability and weight distribution.

Buying guidance

Most buyers land here to answer two questions: “Is this the right trailer family?” and “Do I need a custom variation?” This page is built to make both calls faster.

  • Use the brochure when you need a portable spec sheet for internal review.
  • Use the inventory route when you need a near-term unit instead of a fresh build cycle.
  • Use the sales conversation when your load or operating constraints require custom engineering.
