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 Trailers
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 StrengthThe 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.
