So far I've found Mac, Chaparral, and maybe Reitnouer? Not too many out there actually.

What about East?
I know Fontaine/Ravens but I don't think they are making steps anymore. Thats about all the aluminum trailers makers out here anymore. I own a Mac flat and love it, my dad owns 2 Reitenouirs and loves them. All of them have been good trailers but we don't know much about the stepdecks. Hope thats helpful in some way.

East has a fixed drop, and it's designed for 22.5 tires. It would look aweful funny with 17.5 tires on there! I have one(east step with 22.5's) right now. Good trailer methinks.
Wilson makes an aluminum trailer, but again only for 22.5's.

If you have never had a low step something you should consider is ground clearance, you will rub the frame once in a while, usually backing down into docks. Don't know how aluminum will hold up dragging on asphalt. Combo with steel frame may be better.

2010 MAC ALUMINUM 3-AXLE Drop Deck For Sale At TruckPaper.com I'd like it with disc brakes though, and middle fixed axle not front. Or like this: GLASVAN GREAT DANE - NEW TRAILER 2009 CHAPARRAL I'll check out wilson tomorrow at the local dealer. |
