4000A<em>E</em> Drop Deck

The 4000AE Drop Deck has a 73,000 lb Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, weighs less than some all-aluminum trailers, and is available at a combo-trailer price. Using the same patent-pending crossmember system as the 4000AE combo flatbed, the 4000AE Drop Deck consists of a combination of 3" and 4" aluminum crossmembers.
