Conestoga trailer

A Conestoga trailer is a specialized flatbed with a hard shell and tarping system designed to protect the variety of freight inside. It is one of the most requested trailers because of its versatility. Conestoga trailers offer better freight protection than tying down basic tarps and reduce the occurrence of tarps damaging the cargo during transit. Because they can be loaded and unloaded with ease, fragile and valuable freight is less at risk of being damaged during shipment. The Conestoga trailer has a legal maximum freight weight of  42,000 lbs to 45,000 lbs.
