More Payload

When margins are slim, you must look for ways to maximize payload to increase your profitability. So, East designs one of the lightest and strongest aluminum drop deck trailers on the road today.

More Strength

The East design uses high-tensile aluminum in its composition. The main beams and the structural cross members use 6061-T6 aluminum, offering all the durability of high-tensile-strength steel at half the weight.

More Versatility

For more profitability, the combination of lightweight, strength and high load ratings gives you versatile and flexible load options.

More Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum is the best guard against corrosive elements and chemicals, lowering your maintenance costs.

Higher Resale Value

East trailers have a reputation for quality that brings
a higher resale value. Many East drop decks remain on the highway over 30 years still providing reliable service no other manufacturer can match.

Drop Deck Trailers

East drop deck trailer models maximize payload, and deliver strength and durability to meet the needs of all types of drop deck trailer applications. By incorporating lighter weight and longer lasting components into each and every trailer, East has earned the reputation of having higher resale value.

Trailer strength

The strength of our drop deck trailers is our dual-T main beam and exclusive cross member design, increasing durability and balancing load stresses more evenly for longer life and less maintenance. Its two T-shape extrusion sections of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy are welded, not bolted. The weld is in the middle of the beam where stress is minimal. Our seamless-tubed cross members are more twist resistant in a turn than conventional C-shaped and I-beam cross members.
one peice neck
Setting the standard for long life and low maintenance, East drop deck trailers are one of the lightest and strongest on the market, available in overall lengths up to 53 feet. To keep weight down, East drop deck trailers feature the industry’s only true all-aluminum, one-piece neck – no bolts or steel reinforcement needed. With today’s special load requirements, East offers one of the highest concentrated load ratings and more payload potential than the competition.

BEAST™ (BST Drop)

Offering a structural load rating of 80,000 pounds distributed, it can carry up to 2,500 pounds more payload than a comparable steel drop deck, and up to 1,200 pounds more than a comparable composite.

BEAST™ II (BST II Drop)

Designed with all the features and benefits of the BST, the BST II DROP meets the needs of applications requiring higher load ratings without additional weight. It is rated up to 100,000 pounds distributed with a tandem axle. And, it boasts a 2-inch deeper main beam than the BST DROP.

Extreme-Low Deck (XLD)

Designed for increased payload versatility and better stability, the first all-aluminum drop deck trailer with a low-slung 36-inch deck height offers a lower center of gravity. With specialty loads, particularly equipment loads getting taller and taller, the new low-height East drop deck reduces the need for partial dismantling of the load to get it below the 13-feet 6-inch maximum legal height. Available in Beast and Beast II.
