My brother is thinking of buying 48 foot drop deck semi trailer. Looking at one made by
Rampant trailers out of Raliegh NC. Hate to spend over 20 grand with out seeing one in
person. Does anyone have any experience with this brand trailer? The good bad or whatever on
these trailers or the company.
 
Not sure what brand, will have to ask Nephew. He has a 966 loader on now. 51,000 lbs.

$20K for a drop deck trailer sounds real cheap. I have priced used ones for that price that were lot lizzards with rust. I saw an excellent drop trailer made in Canada at the FPS last summer. Air raised floor to top deck and lowered ramps. It was in the $40K range.
 
A new drop deck for that money I would want to see. The big thing is the spacing on the cross members. They want to be not more than 12 inches. If they are wider they will break the floor boards faster as they start to rot. Will also break fast with heavy things like forklifts as they have a high concentration of weight on the wheels. If it is a spread it will crry more weight than a tandem. The spread will use tires faster if you try turning real tight turns loaded.
I've had a Transcraft for almost 20 years now. Had to change the cross members in it about 5 years ago and the side rails on one side so far. It is a heavy trailer at about 12,000 empty with a dry floor (no rain) Been a good trailer too.
