Flatbed
The standard open deck.
Steel, machinery, and building materials on an open deck, loaded by crane or forklift from any side. Suited to freight up to around 48,000 lbs that fits within legal height.
Open-deck and specialized trailers · Matched to the cargo
- Seven trailer classes
- To ~150,000 lbs on RGN
- Matched to the load
Operated by Rite Way Freight LTD
Matched to the load
The trailer is chosen for your cargo, not just for what happens to be available.
Seven classes
Flatbed through multi-axle, including double-drop, RGN, and extendable units.
Told what fits
If a lighter class will carry the piece legally, that is what you are quoted.
About trailer rental
We rent open-deck and specialized trailers matched to the cargo, not to whatever is on the lot. Flatbeds and step-decks handle standard and taller freight; double-drops and RGNs carry over-height machinery and rolling equipment; multi-axle and extendable units take the longest, heaviest loads.
Choosing the class is most of the value. A step-deck clears taller freight legally where a flatbed would need a permit; an RGN lets tracked equipment drive on rather than be craned; added axle lines make an overweight piece permittable at all. Renting the wrong class usually costs more in permits than the right one costs to hire.
The same fleet backs the transport side of the business, so the equipment is specified and maintained for the freight it actually carries rather than for a general rental market.
What we rent
The seven trailer classes available, and what each is for.
Step-Deck
A lower deck for taller freight.
The main deck sits lower than a flatbed, adding clearance for equipment and crated cargo that would run over-height on a standard deck — so taller loads move legally without permits.
Double-Drop & Lowboy
A low center well for over-height machinery.
The deck drops between the axles to carry tall machinery low to the road, keeping over-height freight under the bridges and wires along the route.
RGN
Removable gooseneck — equipment drives on.
The gooseneck detaches so excavators, cranes, and other tracked or wheeled equipment drive onto the deck under their own power. Configurable to around 150,000 lbs with added axles.
Multi-Axle
Axle lines added for the heaviest loads.
For freight beyond standard legal weight, added axle lines spread the load so it can be permitted and moved. The configuration is engineered to the piece and the route.
Extendable
Decks that stretch for long freight.
Extendable flatbeds and step-decks stretch to carry beams, pipe, and other long freight that overhangs a standard deck, with permits and escorts arranged to match the length.
Tank & Specialized
Purpose-built trailers for energy cargo.
Cryogenic tankers and purpose-built platforms carry LNG and other energy-sector cargo under the handling and safety protocols the freight requires.
