Front and rear decks

Use the Decks card on the Road tab to describe trailers with raised loading platforms at the front or rear — step-decks, low-boys, drop-decks and any custom shape where the deck height changes along the length of the trailer.

The Decks card is only in the full container editor. Reach it from Equipment in the main navigation → Road tab → open a trailer. Editing library equipment requires the Equipment Editor permission.

Front deck and Rear deck

The card has two identical sub-groups, Front deck and Rear deck. Each deck spans the full width of the trailer — there is no width input.

Mezzanine decks

A mezzanine — a horizontal floor at any height inside the container — is modelled as a floor component, not as a deck. Front and rear decks are limited to protrusions from the ends of the trailer.
