Dry Van Trailer: A typical dry van trailer has an interior length of about 48 to 53 feet, a width of approximately 8.5 feet, and a height of around 13.5 feet. This gives it a carrying volume of roughly 3,672 to 4,299 cubic feet.
Refrigerated Trailer (Reefer): Refrigerated trailers are similar in size to dry van trailers, with lengths ranging from 48 to 53 feet, widths of approximately 8.5 feet, and heights of around 13.5 feet. However, the insulated walls and refrigeration unit reduce the interior cargo space slightly. The carrying volume of a reefer trailer is usually around 3,324 to 3,960 cubic feet.
Flatbed Trailer: Flatbed trailers have an open deck without sides or a roof. The typical dimensions of a flatbed trailer are 48 to 53 feet in length, 8.5 feet in width, and about 4.5 feet in height. Since they don't have enclosed cargo space, the carrying volume of a flatbed trailer is determined by its deck area, which is roughly 384 to 429 square feet.
Tanker Trailer: Tanker trailers are used to transport liquids or gases. The carrying volume of a tanker trailer depends on the size and shape of the tank. Common tanker trailer sizes range from 6,000 to 11,000 gallons (approximately 22,712 to 41,639 cubic feet).
Auto Carrier Trailer: Auto carrier trailers are designed to transport vehicles. They have multiple levels, each equipped with ramps or hydraulic lifts to load and unload cars. The carrying capacity of an auto carrier trailer varies based on the specific design and the size of the vehicles being transported. It can accommodate anywhere from 8 to 12 vehicles, depending on the vehicle types and configurations.
Lowboy Trailer: Lowboy trailers are specialized trailers used to transport heavy and oversized cargo. They have a low deck platform that is close to the ground, making it easier to load and unload heavy equipment. The carrying volume of a lowboy trailer varies widely depending on the specific trailer design and dimensions.
