“Our new 4000AE Drop Deck incorporates the advanced technology that is found in our 4000AE combo flatbed, delivering the long-term benefits of both steel and aluminum,” says Brett Olsen, Utility marketing manager. “A customer will discover that it weighs less than some all-aluminum trailers, yet it’s available at a more sensible combo-trailer price.”
Designed to haul heavy or awkward loads, the 4000AE Drop Deck features a combination of 3- and 4-in. aluminum crossmembers. It comes standard with a 39,000-lb. coil haul package with a 5-ft. span of 4 in. tapered to 3-in. aluminum crossmembers on 8-in. centerlines, the company says.
The 4000AE Drop Deck also features the ConMet aluminum hub system and delivers an additional 541 lb. of weight savings compared to the previous design, the company adds.
