A type of open utility trailer designed for vehicle transport features wheel wells integrated into the trailer deck, allowing vehicles to be driven directly over them during loading and unloading. This configuration differs from trailers with traditional, raised fenders that obstruct the path of the vehicle. This design simplifies the loading process and often reduces the trailer’s overall height, potentially improving fuel efficiency and maneuverability.
This style of open deck trailer offers significant advantages in terms of ease of use and versatility. The elimination of raised fenders creates a continuous, unobstructed loading surface, minimizing the risk of damage to the transported vehicle during loading and unloading. The lower deck height associated with this design can also facilitate easier loading of low-clearance vehicles and improve aerodynamic performance during transport. This style of trailer has become increasingly popular as users recognize the practical benefits they offer for various hauling needs.
