Request these values for the actual configuration. An absent value is not zero and does not establish a fit.

Overall length is not usable deck length. A published side-rail width does not establish the unobstructed support width. Values above come from documentation, not from image measurements.

Configuration notes

What to verify

  • Axle count and loaded deck height use the manufacturer-linked TA brochure (PUB 230C, 0220); verify the actual trailer build before relying on them.
  • Source conflict: current product page states upper deck 11 ft 8 in; linked TA brochure states 11 ft 6 in. Upper deck length is withheld pending build-specific confirmation.
  • Obtain the actual build sheet and configuration-specific load chart.
  • Published options and family ranges do not establish an individual trailer’s equipment.
