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 flatbed 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 flatbeds remain on the highway over 30 years still providing reliable service no other manufacturer can match.

Flatbed Brochure

East flatbed trailer models maximize payload, and deliver strength and durability to meet the needs of all types of flatbed 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 flatbed 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.

Offering more payload than any other aluminum flatbed trailer in the market, East has four models to meet the needs of your application.

BEAST™ (BST)

Providing more stability and less flex during cornering and maneuvering, the Beast delivers up to 1,500 pounds more payload than a comparable composite flatbed trailer. The Beast is rated to handle loads up to 50,000 pounds concentrated in 4 feet on a 48-foot widespread tandem-axle trailer, up to 60,000 lbs. concentrated in 10 feet and up to 80,000 pounds distributed.

BEAST™ II (BST II)

Designed with all the features and benefits of the Beast, the Beast II meets the needs of applications requiring higher concentrated load ratings without additional weight. It handles loads up to 65,000 pounds concentrated in 4 feet on a 48-foot wide-spread tandem-axle trailer and up to 100,000 lbs. distributed. Ideal for two to three-axle configurations, it is available in lengths up to 53 feet and boasts a 13-inch neck with a 2-inch deeper main beam than the BST.

MMX™

Offering one of the highest concentrated load ratings in an aluminum flatbed, the MMX is rated to handle loads up to 80,000 pounds concentrated in 4 feet on a 48-foot wide-spread trailer, and up to 145,000 lbs. with a multi-axle configuration. Ideal for multi-axle applications, it is available in lengths up to 53 feet and boasts a 12½-inch deep neck with a super-duty main beam.

Beast™ Narrow Neck

Newly-designed, 8-inch narrow neck on the all-aluminum flatbed offers the same durability, strength and payload of the BST plus the capability to be equipped with an enclosure, providing more load versatility and protection. Adaptable to curtain-side and rolling tarp systems, the van configuration has up to a 106-inch clear inside height – just 4 inches short of a van. It is rated to handle loads up to 50,000 pounds concentrated in 4 feet on a 48-foot wide-spread tandem-axle trailer, up to 60,000 pounds concentrated in 10 feet and up to 80,000 pounds distributed. Read more
