Equipment Types

Ameri-Line provides these diagrams that will help you determine the type and quantity of platformtype trailers required to transport your freight. The total freight weight and dimensions of each trailer type can typically transport "legally", ie. without state highway permits, is shown. Since there are variations within each trailer type, the information shown should be used as a general guideline. Most of these platform trailers have the capacity to handle freight exceeding these weights and dimensions for a premium charge and require state(s) permit authority to be obtained prior to shipment. Please contact us for assistance with trailer selection.

**Please note: The maximum freight dimensions and weight shown below each trailer are approximate and should be used as a rough guideline for planning, not for making precision loading calculations. Actual loadable freight weight & dimensions vary from trailer to trailer and are based on the specifications of the actual trailer & semi-tractor utilized. Additional equipment is available for larger and heavier shipments.
