Meet Freedom Ultra: Our New Aluminum Flatbed Offering more payload
If your flatbed operation calls for heavier loads, you’re most likely looking for a trailer that can get the job done without adding unnecessary weight. Meet the new Freedom Ultra, a powerful new option in our Freedom lineup designed for operators looking to get more out of an all-aluminum flatbed.
Ultra expands the capabilities of our all-aluminum platform with increased strength, higher payload capacity, and enhanced durability.
Sam King, the Design Engineer Manager at Great Dane who worked closely on the Ultra model, had this to say about our new flatbed:
“We listened to our customer’s needs and designed Ultra to meet the challenges our operators face every day, without compromise. We’re proud of the features Ultra offers for superior safety and strength, all in one incredible-looking package.”
Ultra helps fleets haul heavier loads while benefiting from the long-term value aluminum trailers are known for.
Simply put, “The Ultra proves you don’t have to sacrifice weight, strength, or looks,” King said.
Ultra Light
If your loads regularly exceed traditional flatbed requirements, Ultra was engineered for operations like yours.
“The first thing our customers ask about is weight. We increased strength on Ultra, while engineering it to be lighter than our FXP Gen 2, providing the best strength to weight ratio in the market,” King said. “Our lightweight yet strong main beam allows you to carry more payload per trip which directly correlates to increased profitability.”
Freedom Ultra supports:
- Concentrated loads from 60,000 to 72,000 pounds in a 4-foot span
- Uniformly distributed loads (UDL) from 87,000 to 106,000 pounds
- Demanding applications that require maximum performance and reliability
The result is more hauling capability without sacrificing the payload benefits that make aluminum trailers so attractive.
Ultra Strong
Freedom Ultra combines industry-leading engineering with rugged construction to deliver long-term performance.
Key highlights include:
- Class-leading strength-to-weight efficiency, setting a new standard for payload optimization
- Welded main beam design built to outperform with 50% more rigidity than comparable flatbeds on the market, providing superior reliability, load handling, and stability.
King adds, “The Freedom Ultra is backed by a 10-year main beam warranty, the strongest in the industry.”
ULTRA SAFE
Our focus on safety is the foundation for everything we build, so we believe a stronger trailer should also be a safer trailer.
- Next-Level Safety, Standard: A RIG30-compliant impact guard as standard, is designed to be bolted on, for ease of maintenance.
- Advanced Load Securement Options: Integrated J-Hook floor system on fully boxed floorboards eliminates the need for floor screws, and superior cargo safety.
Our safety designs focus on your driver as well as others on the road, protecting both your cargo and your people.
ULTRA SMART
Freedom Ultra doesn’t stop at strength and durability.
Every trailer comes standard with FleetPulse telematics, giving fleets access to, real-time trailer visibility across operations, asset tracking and recovery capabilities, and optimized routing for improved efficiency.
Ultra also offers safe load securement with optional J-hook tracks built directly into full boxed floorboards, delivering flexible options to help your driver work more efficiently.
Up To The Challenge
Freedom Ultra represents the next evolution of Great Dane’s all-aluminum flatbed lineup. By combining increased payload capacity, superior strength, and advanced safety features, it delivers maximum value for demanding flatbed applications.
