The basic difference between a Flat-bed and a step deck is in the construction and design. A Flat-bed is a platform trailer with a flat surface, while a step deck is similar but has a drop-down deck at the front. This allows for the trailer to be lower to the ground, improving access for loading and unloading, and better fuel economy.
