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.
