trailer deck

In 1996 she was substantially rebuilt, with a new upper trailer deck.

This, too, was mounted on the trailer deck.

Since there is no crane to lift each reel onto the truck, this trailer features sliding steel plates that essentially scoop the load from the train and set it onto the trailer deck.

When a truck backs into such a loading dock, the bumpers on the loading dock and the bumpers on the trailer come into contact and create a gap; also, the warehouse floor and the trailer deck may not be horizontally aligned.
