Awnings and canopies can be transported with many types of vehicles ranging from small pick-up trucks up to large flat bed trucks and trailers. Since the size of the transportation greatly affects the maximum size of the awning and canopy modules, larger flat-bed type vehicles with a wooden deck work the best. The shown trailer has been designed and specially equipped for transporting awning and canopy frame modules. It features an 8' x 32' bed and an expandable rack system for carrying a second layer of frames above the bed.
