Expansive Freight Deck
With 53’ of usable space—43’ lower deck and 10’ upper deck—this trailer maximizes every inch. The 35” lower deck height and 52” upper deck, paired with a 102” width, offer versatility for diverse loads, ensuring no payload is left behind. Compatible with HD cab and chassis trucks, it’s built for profit-driven hauls.
Robust I-Beam Strength
Crafted on a heavy-duty fabricated I-beam frame with 16” crossmember spacing, this trailer delivers unmatched durability. Supporting a 24,000-30,000 lbs GVWR and 13,500-19,500 lbs payload, its slipper spring suspension ensures stability. Optional air ride and axle upgrades to 20,000 lbs enhance toughness for the heaviest freight jobs.
Secure Load Management
Featuring a 3” rub rail with stake pockets and chain spools every 16”, plus a 6” channel side rail with sliding ratchet track, securing loads is effortless. Five sliding ratchets with 30’x4” straps provide flexibility, while DOT-approved LED lighting and reflective tape ensure safety on every haul.
Reliable Running Gear
Equipped with dual 12k HD Dexter oil bath axles and electric brakes, this trailer guarantees control. Rolling on 235-80-R16 tires with HD steel dual 16” wheels and an 8 on 6.5” bolt pattern, it’s built for reliability. Upgrade options include 215-75-R17.5 tires and 14-ply enhancements for tougher runs.
Convenient Toolbox Storage
Two steel side-mount toolboxes with locks keep gear secure and accessible, standard on every trailer. An optional weatherproof, locking upgrade adds durability for long hauls. Paired with dual-speed 12k jacks, this freight hauler ensures your tools and equipment are organized and ready for any job.
Durable Finish & Warranty
Coated in automotive-grade epoxy primer with dual urethane topcoats, this trailer resists wear and tear across countless hauls. Backed by a 2-year structural warranty, its heavy-duty I-beam frame ensures lasting reliability, making it a trusted investment for freight haulers facing demanding conditions.Product Details

Glenn is awsome and the product is top quality. I went in and didn’t see exactly what I was looking for on the lot so He sat down with me and put it together right away. Three weeks later I had the best trailer I’ve found on the market. Built to my specks and couldn’t be happier. 18x7 and super sturdy.Great color selection as well.
