Flatbed & Drop Deck TrailersDesigned for Optimum PayloadFirst in Aluminum TrailersMore PayloadWhen margins are slim, you must look for ways to maximize payload to increase your pro?tability. So, East has designed one of the lightest and strongest aluminum ?atbed and drop deck trailers on the road today.More StrengthThe 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 VersatilityFor more pro?tability, the combination of lightweight, strength and high load ratings gives you versatile and ?exible load options.More Corrosion ResistanceAluminum is the best guard against corrosive elements and chemicals, lowering your maintenance costs.Higher Resale Value & Longer LifeEast trailers have a reputation for quality that bringsa higher resale value. Many East ?atbeds remain on the highway over 30 years, still providing reliable service no other manufacturer can match.FLATBEDS FOR EVERY APPLICATION Offering more payload than any other aluminum ?atbed trailer on the market, East has four modelsto meet the needs of your application.BEASTTM (BST) – Providing more stability and less ?ex during cornering and maneuvering, the Beast delivers up to 1,500 lbs. more payload than a comparable compos-ite ?atbed trailer.
