PRODUCTS Oilfield flatbed options Transcraft offers flatbed trailer op- tions designed specifically for oilfield operations. The DTL steel drop-deck line now includes additional flashing side lights and increased strength of the trailer neck to facilitate less neck deflection during loading, unload- ing and hauling without adding any additional weight to the trailer. A redesigned neck also is available on all D-Eagle Series trailers. Transcraft Corp.
