Step deck / single drop

How this platform works

The current Lode King Forceline steel drop-deck model family, with axle and suspension choices retained as configurations.

Treat the upper deck and lower main deck as separate working areas.

Loading path

Rear loading; equipment depends on configuration

Side or crane loading needs access to both deck levels. Drive-on loading requires the specified ramps and a checked transition path.

Supporting the load

An overall trailer length includes the upper deck and other structure. Do not subtract one published span to invent a usable lower-deck length.

Dimensions that govern this configuration

Usable support space, nominal deck spans and the overall transport envelope remain separate measurements.

B
Main deck / well length (nominal)Not documentedConfiguration-specific measurement required

The reference does not establish this measurement.

Documented dimensions

Still needed from the build sheet

  • Main deck / well length (nominal)
  • Usable main deck / well length
  • Upper-deck length
  • Main-deck height
  • Overall transport length
  • Overall / side-rail width
  • Usable support width

Ratings & support conditions

The exact build’s load chart is required. A model-family capacity range does not establish this configuration’s rating.

Tare, gross vehicle rating and structural load ratings describe different limits. None alone establishes allowable payload or legal axle loads.

Plan around the actual load

These applications identify what to investigate. Suitability depends on the transported assembly, support points and the selected trailer build.

Agricultural machinery

Which parts fold, detach or overhang?

Confirm support locations for implements; a long folded assembly may sit on only a few small feet or wheels.

  • Folded height and secured width
  • Dual-wheel / track support width
  • Header or hitch overhang

Configuration & inspection

  • Axle and suspension choices are configurations, not separate model identities.
  • Obtain the exact build sheet and configuration-specific load chart before matching a load.
  • A product or family identity does not establish legal axle loading, route clearance or permit approval.

Equipment selection requires verified weights and ratings, load support, coupling and axle analysis, securement planning and route review. This reference is not engineering, permit or route-clearance approval.
