BWS flatbed & drop-deck trailers

What to compare
Choose the usable deck
A flat deck offers one continuous loading surface. A drop deck divides the load space between upper and lower sections. Compare both sections with your freight dimensions.
Build in load securement
BWS lists winches, winch track, D-rings, chain pullouts and rubrail options. Specify the arrangement that suits your loads and loading equipment.
Size it to the work
Compare overall length, usable deck space and maneuvering room at your stops. The Highway Drop range includes shorter models as well as 48 ft and 53 ft configurations.
