TRAILER FAMILY

Extendable Trailer

An extendable trailer lengthens its carrying surface for loads that exceed a standard deck. It is a starting point for long freight, not a substitute for checking support locations, deflection and route constraints.

GEOMETRY

How the deck is arranged

A telescoping centre section changes the deck length and support spacing. Compare extension positions, usable deck, lock points and the structure available beneath the load.

LOADING METHOD

How the load reaches the deck

The load plan must establish support points before extension. Verify how the load bridges the deck, how it will be secured and what happens to turning clearance and overhang.
