Trailer Selector Guide
These diagrams will help you determine the type and quantity of
platform-type trailers required to transport your freight. The total freight weight and dimensions each trailer type can typically transport "legally", ie. without state
highway permits, is shown. Since there are variations within each trailer type, the information shown should be used as a general guideline. Most of these
platform trailers have the capacity to handle freight exceeding these weights and dimensions for a premium charge and require state(s) permit authority to be obtained prior to shipment. Please contact us for assistance with trailer selection.
**Please note: The maximum freight dimensions and
weight shown below each trailer are approximate and should be used as a rough guideline for planning, not for making precision loading calculations. Actual loadable freight weight & dimensions vary from trailer to trailer and
are based on the specs. of the actual trailer & semi-tractor utilized.
