Trailer Types & Dimensions

Hydraulic Carriers are ideal for large modules when a staging yard is utilized for module storage. Hydraulic Carriers allow the driver to self-load the modules onto the trailer by using hydraulic jacks to raise the trailer deck up, lifting the modules off cribbing. Drivers can also self-unload the modules onto cribbing using the same functionality.

Extendable hydraulic trailers are designed to transport both commercial and residential modular units, mainly, but not limited to, units constructed out of timber (wood). Equipped with multiple (4-6) custom, high weight rated lifting systems, these trailers have the same deck raising and lowering capabilities of a standard hydraulic trailer, with the added ability to extend, or trombone out the ‘well’ of the trailer to accompate longer and / or heavier modular units. Ideal for transport to and from an unmanned staging yard, which is often used to backfill modular units before the start of a project.

Air Floats are ideal for large modules when a staging yard is utilized for module storage. Air Floats allow the driver to self-load the modules onto the trailer by using air bags to raise the trailer deck up, lifting the modules off cribbing. Drivers can also self-unload the modules onto cribbing using the same functionality.

Step deck semi trailers, also known as drop decks, are designed to transport products which are too tall for a standard flatbed. The trailer consists of two decks, the upper and lower. These are excellent options for both panels and pods. In a stretch configuration, they also work well for transporting modules, assuming they height of the modules is below 10' tall.

Hot shot semi trailers are to transport products which are long or oddly proportioned. However, they are limited to lower cargo weight. The open nature of the trailer allows for loading / unloading from the rear, sides or top; allowing forklifts and cranes to create an even lift on the freight. The low profile nature of the deck allows for freight up to 10’ high to be legally transported.

Flatbed semi trailers are designed to transport products which are long, heavy or oddly proportioned which creates a challenge when loading/unloading an enclosed trailer. The open nature of the trailer allows for loading / unloading from the rear, sides or top; allowing forklifts and cranes to create an even lift on the freight. Flatbeds are best suited being loaded / unloaded from the ground, rather than from a dock.

RGN (removable gooseneck) semi trailers are designed to transport oversize freight, both legally and through the use of permits / escorts. The well on RGN trailers are normally 18-24" off the ground, allowing for taller modules or pods to travel within the legal height limits. Stretch RGNs allow for longer modules.

Frames are specifically designed to transport modular units, both commercial and residential, timber (wood) or steel. Frames can be manufactured to varying dimensions, as well as axle configurations, dependent on the preference(s) of the manufacturing factory, or for a specific job. The tongue, or front, of the frame is equipped with a pintle hitch, and towed to the job-site using a toter cab. As these frames are often owned by the manufacturing factory themselves, once offloaded, they are stacked three (3) high and returned to the factory, to either be re-loaded, or stored for the next project.
