At Drop Deck Direct, we believe your trailer shouldn’t just meet expectations — it should exceed them. That's why we offer a full lineup of accessories designed to optimize performance, improve safety, and extend the life of your investment. Whether you're hauling scissor lifts, toolboxes, vending machines, or just making daily deliveries, the right setup makes all the difference.
This complete guide breaks down each of our most popular Drop Deck Trailer Accessories, explaining what they do, why they matter, and how to decide if they’re right for your job. From charging systems to utility sides, we’ll cover everything — one by one.
Let’s get into it!
Powder Coat Paint Options
Custom Powder Coat Colors
Make your trailer stand out — or match your fleet colors — with no added cost. We offer a wide selection of powder coat paint finishes from classic black to vibrant orange, red, blue, gray, and more.
Why it matters:
Improves corrosion resistance (800+ salt hours)
Enhances brand identity - protect the brand.
Looks more professional on the jobsite
Whether you're adding a spare tire mount or toolbox, we’ll color match it to your trailer for a seamless look.
Electrical Charging Systems
5 Amp Onboard Charger
This is one of our most practical Drop Deck Trailer Accessories — perfect for users who store their trailers indoors or have access to shore power. Just plug into a standard 110V outlet to top off the onboard battery between hauls.
Why it matters: Avoid dead batteries in the field. With a 5 Amp charger, you're always charged and ready — no jumper cables or downtime.
Solar Charger
Want a maintenance-free, off-grid solution? This toolbox mounted panel solar panel-charges your 12V deep cycle battery throughout the day.
Why it's awesome:You’ll extend battery life and reduce the chance of a drained system — no wall outlet needed. If you park in sunlight, you’re charging.
Best for:Mobile job sites, remote areas, or anyone who wants a low-maintenance solution that just works.
Spare Wheel Systems
Spare Tire Mount
Space is at a premium, and tossing a tire in the bed of your truck isn't always ideal. This powder-coated tire mount gives you a clean, secure spot to bolt your spare directly to the trailer frame.
Why it matters:Minimizes downtime in case of a flat and keeps your workspace organized.
Mount location:We install these the side rail of your chassis.
Matching Spare Tire and Wheel
Don’t risk downtime with a mismatched rim. This includes the exact same tire and wheel setup as your trailer’s original equipment.
Why it matters:Consistency = safety. If you blow a tire mid-haul, you need something that will perform and balance just like the original.
Best for:Every trailer owner. You’ll thank yourself later.
Storage Solutions
Side Mount Toolbox
Need a secure place to stash straps, tools, or gloves? The lockable side-mount toolbox is one of the most underrated Drop Deck Trailer Accessories.
Specs: Made from powder-coated steel and mounted directly to the trailer chassis.
Why people love it:Everything you need is always with the trailer. No more running back to the truck.
Braking Options
Hydraulic Surge Brakes
Hydraulic surge brakes are a must-have for certain commercial applications. They eliminate the need for an electric brake controller in your vehicle.
What they do:They automatically engage the trailer brakes when the towing vehicle slows down - no wiring needed.
Why it matters: This is a popular option in the rental field where some clients come in to rent the trailer and don't have the proper setup. This makes it more universal.
Utility Side Options
24" Solid Utility Sides
These laser-cut, powder-coated steel sides are permanently welded to your trailer and run the full length of the bed.
Benefits:
Prevent loose materials or equipment from falling out
Better security for open loads
Stop backsplash from getting onto your equipment, such as salt and brine.
Added versatility
36" Raised Solid Utility Sides
Need more containment? Go taller with our 36" option. It’s the same solid steel build, just with more vertical room.
Why it's popular:Offers better containment for taller items like vending machines, tool boxes, or even ATMS.
Loading Customization
Removable Tailgate
Want rear containment and full deck access? Our removable tailgate gives you both.
Details:Steel-constructed and pin-secured, it can be popped off in under 30 seconds when needed.
Why it matters:Adds safety when loading pallets or small equipment but doesn’t get in the way of wheeled machinery like lifts or scrubbers.
Securing Cargo the Smart Way
E-Track Securing System
This welded-in rail system lets you quickly tie down cargo using e-track straps or shoring bars. Installed flush against the inside of the trailer sidewalls or utility sides.
Why professionals swear by it:It’s versatile, easy to use, and keeps your load exactly where you want it. Whether it’s a lift, tool crate, or vending machine — this system keeps it secure.
Extended Side Rails
Need to strap down something that is extra tall? Our extended side rails give you multiple anchor points above the deck height.
Best for:Oversized cargo, awkward shapes, or gear that can't sit fully within the deck footprint.
Use the accessories for these when securing fragile or oddly-shaped items safely matters.
