Our high capacity drop center model provides the logging industry with a superior platform for hauling diverse wood loads. This versatile design provides clearance for loading and unloading of long wood while maintaining a low tare weight for hauling heavy short wood.

Weighing approximately 9,800 pounds, the Evans drop center trailer features 1/4" thick bolsters and standards made with 70K high strength steel. Our standard model features four weld-on bolsters and 4-leaf springs for maximum durability.
