The Doepker Steel Drop Deck is built strong and light — tare weight rivals aluminum/steel combo flats of the same spec without giving up the all-steel strength that survives the harshest working conditions. A 100% cold galvanization zinc spray covers the complete outside, backed by the full heat-oven cure process for paint adhesion that holds up where painted decks normally fail. At 53' with an 11' gooseneck and a 75,000 lb distributed rating, it earns its keep on every trip.
