Booster, Flip Axle, Deck Extension Trailers

To increase load-carrying capacity, boosters and flip axles can be fitted to a commercial trailer. Booster and Flip Axles attach to the rear of the trailer, distributing the load over a larger number of axles. Deck extensions are used to increase the surface area of the trailer, allowing for loads of different sizes to be accommodated by the same trailer. All three parts considerably extend the use cases for commercial trailers. 

Companies hauling heavy equipment for construction sites, farming, or utilities often require the use of boosters, flip axles, and deck extensions. Shipping of large manufactured goods, such as metal coils, single-piece concrete components, and building materials may also require boosters and flip axles. Depending on the job site and customer, the trailer can then be customized to handle a greater load when the need arises. Additionally, if the trailer returns to the yard without any load, a flip axle can be retracted to save on drag and fuel costs.
