4000AE Drop Deck - Utility Trailer

Standard Features

Aluminum crossmembers

3" aluminum I-Beam crossmembers on 12" centerlines, full length in areas where needed, optimizing weight without compromising strength.

39,000 lb standard coil haul package

39,000 lb coil haul package with a 5 foot span of 4" tapered to 3" aluminum crossmembers on 8" centerlines to provide optimized strength at the coil.

Strong light weight

The 4000AE Drop Deck weighs 541 lb less than a standard Utility Drop Deck and 660 lb less when a 39,000 lb coil haul package is added.

Heavy-duty pipe spools

The aluminum side rail has an integral winch track and heavy-duty pipe spools. The pipe spools are engineered to a 6,500 lb working load limit rating.

Drop Deck solutions for heavy and awkward loads

Available in all-steel or aluminum/steel combo designs, our Drop Deck trailers deliver options to deliver superior strength.

Hat-shaped top flange

Attached to the extruded aluminum floor, the 80,000 psi high strength steel hat-shaped top flange provides additional lateral stability to the trailer.

Double tapered beam at rear for proper axle loading

This design optimizes load distribution between the axles and extends suspension life.

Integral winch track

The integral winch track is extruded into the aluminum side rails. It features a 5,000 lb working load limit rating.

Aluminum front rail

Designed to lower tare weight, this high-strength aluminum front rail provides added protection, improves durability and reduces maintenance expenses.

Front stainless steel corners

Stainless steel corners and top plates protect against impact damage and provide additional strength and durability, reducing cost of ownership.

Microencapsulated adhesive on all screws

Seals and locks threaded fasteners, creating better and stronger connections. Sealed threads are vibration-proof, protected against corrosion, and are resistant to fuel, oil and grease, reducing maintenance costs.

Heavy-duty aluminum outrigger attachments

Five tube-shaped outriggers located on each side of the flatbed are connected to the crossmembers, providing stability and helping distribute the load to the main beams.

High-quality paint process

The main beams are shot blasted to bare metal prior to painting and then coated with a two-part primer and two-part urethane top coat on the exterior surfaces. A rust preventative coating is applied to the interior surfaces of the beams for lower maintenance cost.

100% soldered main harness

The sealed main harness features 100% soldered internal connectors to prevent corrosive de-icing chemicals from traveling through connections into the wiring.

ConMet aluminum hubs

Provides superior weight savings without a sacrifice to durability, performance and strength.

Utility I.C.C. bumper

Meets D.O.T. and Transport Canada safety requirements. The 7" deep horizontal bumper provides superior strength and protection.
