What Is A Wafer Deck Trailer?

A wafer deck trailer, also known as a low-profile or low-clearance trailer, is a specialised type of transport vehicle designed to carry loads that require a low deck height. These trailers are especially useful for transporting tall or heavy machinery, oversized equipment, and other large items that might not fit on a standard trailer due to height restrictions. The wafer deck trailer’s low height allows for the safe and secure movement of such loads, often avoiding the need for special permits related to height overages on public roads.
