Step Deck Transportation

Step deck equipment provides additional vertical clearance for taller freight that does not fit comfortably on a standard flatbed.

  • Lower deck height accommodates taller machinery and equipment
  • Commonly used for machinery, fabricated equipment, and industrial freight where deck height matters
  • Avoids the need for overheight permits on taller industrial freight
