| Felling Trailers adds the DDI (Drop Deck I) Series trailerswith enhanced structural performance. |
At the core of the DDI redesign is Felling Trailers’ investment in its state-of-the-art beam-bending equipment. The new press technology, combined with an optimized hitch bend point, significantly reduces deformation. The DDI’s hitch area delivers enhanced structural integrity and cleaner aesthetics.
The DDI design features a versatile diamond tread deck header plate that comes standard with integrated chain slots and pre-drilled mounting locations for accessories, including winch plates and D-rings. It can be customized for the equipment being hauled without drilling holes or making field modifications. As the work changes, the trailer adapts with it.
The DDI Series features standardized frame beam sizing across spring and torsion suspension configurations (20-24K models). This engineering consistency delivers the same structural performance regardless of which suspension is selected, giving the customer flexibility based on their hauling preferences without compromising strength or durability.
The DDI provides standardized beavertail positioning and consistent axle placement, regardless of beavertail length, which simplify the specification process and ensure predictable towing characteristics across configurations.
The DDI’s modular, bolt-on ramp system uses interchangeable legs and hold-up pins. This design streamlines production and features clearly marked capacity ratings for safer job-site load planning.
Features that make a difference
- Extended deck options: Updated fixturing accommodates longer main deck lengths across most models
- Standardized beavertail positioning: Axle placement now remains consistent regardless of beavertail length, simplifying the specification process
- New length offerings: 22-foot decks added to 10-12K, 14K, and 16K models; 22- and 24-foot options now available on 20-24K units
- Enhanced headboard structure: Transition from formed to tube construction provides superior mounting strength for accessory integration
- Improved component visibility: Bullet lights relocated to headboard caps for better sight lines and simplified installation
- Standard toolbox crossmember: Previously available only with hitch extensions, now included across the lineup
Each DDI trailer features Felling's powder-coat finish for superior protection against weather, chemicals, and the wear and tear of daily use.
