You’ve got the machine they need. but do they have a way to get it where they need to go? This may be the year you stop sending your customers to the U-Haul dealership down the street just to finish a deal you started.
One of our strongest dealership partners is not, strictly speaking, a trailer dealership. Blueline Equipment in Eastern Washington has six locations and both sells and rents heavy equipment to construction companies, local orchards, and agricultural companies across the region. They are a valued partner who has already discovered why hydraulic drop deck trailers are the perfect “secret weapon” for heavy equipment rental companies.
If you run a heavy equipment company, you’ll see why partnering with GoodMFG® as a dealer can help boost profits, reduce insurance claims, and protect your rental assets.

Protect Your Assets
Running a rental business often means dealing with inexperienced operators, from the new hire at the construction company to the DIY guy who wants a mini excavator to dig up their back yard.
How do hydraulic drop deck trailers reduce equipment damage during loading?
Traditional ramps are the danger zone for these inexperienced operators. They’re narrow. They sit at a high angle. And they require operators to navigate perfectly in order to get the equipment onto the trailer bed. Hydraulic drop deck trailers eliminate the primary causes of rental damage:
- Eliminating the incline. The trailer lowers all the way to the ground via remote control. The deck sits at just 5.4 inches, allowing equipment to be driven directly onto the trailer.
- Continuous contact. All four wheels or tracks remain in contact with a sturdy surface at all times.
- Safety first. By removing the steep incline, you virtually eliminate the risk of equipment scraping, tipping, or injuring an operator during the most hazardous parts of the rental process.
You protect your assets. You protect your customers.
Reduce Turn Around Time
When you run a rental business, time is money.
When you lower the deck, you lower the learning curve, too. With a hydraulic drop deck trailer, you drop, secure, lift, attach, and drive. It couldn’t be easier. Customers enjoy:
- One touch remote hydraulic lowering.
- Simple, low-angle drive-on capabilities.
- Minimal instruction time thanks to the intuitive design.
All of this means you get those customers on the road faster and enjoy more time to talk to more customers about their options.
