INNOVATIONS
FREEDOM ULTRA FEATURES
Freedom Ultra is designed around four goals: maximize payload, improve durability, increase safety, and help fleets operate more efficiently.
Aluminum Construction
Maximum Payload Performance
All-aluminum construction reduces trailer weight to help fleets carry more cargo and improve operating efficiency.
Welded Aluminum Main Beams
Industry-Leading Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Welded aluminum main beams provide the highest concentrated load-to-tare weight ratio in its class. Available standard-duty and heavy-duty beam packages support concentrated load ratings up to 72,000 lbs*.
*Ratings apply to Great Dane’s stock trailer configurations and may be improved or reduced based on factors including axle configuration, suspension setup, deck design, and other specifications.
Fully Boxed Floor System
Built for Demanding Loads
Floorboards are welded directly to crossmembers and bulkheads, eliminating traditional floor screws. The result is a strong, lightweight structure engineered for long-term performance.
Full-Height Structural Bulkheads
Strength Without Outriggers
Full-height mid-span and suspension bulkheads help deliver consistent structural strength without outriggers. This design also creates space for longer dunnage storage.
Aluminum C-Channel Crossmembers
Lightweight Structural Support
Standard 4.5″ aluminum C-channel crossmembers on 16″ centers provide strong floor support while helping reduce trailer weight. Optional 12″ spacing is available for concentrated loads.
Extruded Aluminum Side Rail
Built-In Securement Flexibility
Extruded aluminum side rails integrate stake pockets, pipe spools, winch track, and optional J-hook anchor provisions into a single lightweight structure. The result is versatile cargo securement without added complexity.
Bolted-on RIG30 Rear Impact Guard
Advanced Protection Comes Standard
Freedom Ultra comes standard with a bolted-on RIG30 rear impact guard that exceeds U.S. and Canadian safety standards. It delivers advanced protection without compromising payload performance.
HDGV Corrosion Protection
Built for Long-Term Performance
The upper coupler, suspension brackets, and rear impact guard feature HDGV protection to help resist corrosion and extend component life. The bolt-in upper coupler design also improves serviceability.
FleetPulse Track Telematics
Visibility from Day One
FleetPulse® Track comes standard with up to seven years of battery life. It provides trailer visibility and recovery capabilities to help fleets improve asset utilization and management.
10-Year Main Beam Warranty
Confidence for the Long Haul
Freedom Ultra is backed by a 10-year main beam warranty. That coverage gives fleets added confidence in a trailer engineered for long-haul efficiency and long-term performance.

FAQS
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What Makes Freedom Ultra Different from Other Aluminum Flatbeds?
Freedom Ultra was engineered to maximize payload without sacrificing strength, safety, or fleet visibility. Its welded aluminum construction delivers an industry-leading strength-to-weight ratio, with concentrated load ratings up to 72,000 lbs and distributed load ratings up to 106,000 lbs when equipped with the heavy-duty beam package. Standard RIG30 rear impact protection and FleetPulse® Track telematics further help fleets improve safety, visibility, and long-term operating performance.
*Ratings apply to Great Dane’s stock trailer configurations and may be improved or reduced based on factors including axle configuration, suspension setup, deck design, and other specifications. Contact your Great Dane representative for guidance on selecting the appropriate configuration for your needs.
Why Choose an Aluminum Flatbed Trailer?
Aluminum flatbeds weigh significantly less than comparable steel trailers, helping fleets maximize payload capacity and improve fuel efficiency. Aluminum construction also provides natural corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for fleets operating in harsh environments or planning for long service life.
What Types of Freight Is Freedom Ultra Designed to Haul?
Freedom Ultra is designed for a wide range of open-deck applications, including building materials, lumber, machinery, steel products, industrial freight, and coil hauling. Multiple flooring, securement, and equipment options allow the trailer to be configured for specific freight requirements.
Is Freedom Ultra Available with a Coil Package?
Yes. Freedom Ultra is available with a coil package designed to support concentrated coil loads and help protect the trailer floor structure. Contact your Great Dane dealer to discuss the best configuration for your application.
What Is RIG30 Protection and Why Does It Matter?
RIG30 is an advanced rear impact guard standard designed to enhance safety and help meet rear impact protection requirements. Freedom Ultra comes standard with RIG30 protection, helping fleets improve safety without adding aftermarket equipment.
Does Freedom Ultra include telematics?
Yes. FleetPulse® Track telematics come standard on every Freedom Ultra trailer, providing visibility into trailer location, utilization, and recovery through the FleetPulse platform.
