Drop Deck Transport

Use our drop deck trailers for tall loads, versatile freight and efficient site access

At National Heavy Haulage, our drop deck trailers are purpose-built to handle height-sensitive and heavy equipment transport with ease. With their lower deck height, these trailers provide greater load clearance, ideal for tall machinery, prefabricated structures and more.

Backed by our NHVAS accreditation, ISO-certified safety systems and a proven track record with some of Australia’s leading names in mining and construction, our drop deck trailer transport service combines experience, safety and responsive support you can rely on.

Why our drop deck transport trailers are ideal for oversized and versatile freight

A drop deck trailer, also known as a step-deck, features a lower deck behind the gooseneck, allowing for taller cargo without exceeding road height limits. This design is ideal for transporting large equipment, machinery, containerised freight and materials that need to be loaded with cranes or forklifts. This versatile configuration makes it a go-to solution for freight that doesn’t conform to standard dimensions.

At National Heavy Haulage, we combine fleet strength with industry expertise to deliver dependable drop deck transport. Our trailers are well-maintained and fully equipped to meet height, weight and access requirements across a variety of projects. Backed by trained drivers, route planning, real-time updates and full permit support, we ensure your load moves safely and efficiently — no matter the complexity or location.
