2024 Diamond C Deckover Plant & Equipment Trailer

This 8.5 ft x 24 ft Diamond C DEC sits in the middle of the deckover range: heavier than the 7,000 lb models, lighter and cheaper to tow than the 20,000 lb machines, with the same full 2,591 mm deck width and a 1,219 mm dovetail with 1,829 mm flip-knee ramps at the back.

It has been specified with full blackwood decking rather than just the outer boards, six extra D-rings and a spare mount, which is the fit-out most operators end up asking for anyway.

Australian registration and towing

All ratings are the United States manufacturer’s, converted here for comparison. They are not ADR ratings, not an ATM plate and not a roadworthiness statement. An imported trailer must be approved and registered through your state or territory road authority before it can be used on public roads, and your tow vehicle’s rated towing capacity is the other constraint. The full deck range sits under container chassis and trailers, and covered options under enclosed trailers.
