This item ships by dedicated freight. Call 319-892-4140 or email [email protected] for a shipping rate.
The ECHO SS Super Skid Removable Flatbed is a heavy-duty hauling platform designed to convert a semi tractor into a versatile agricultural and equipment transport truck. Built for operators who need flexibility, the Super Skid can be swapped on or off in about 15 minutes, allowing the truck to quickly return to normal towing duty.
Unlike many competing flatbed systems that use C-channel steel, the ECHO SS Super Skid is built with a fully tubular framework. That design creates a stronger platform for hauling large agricultural tanks, equipment, and materials, while also providing a more capable towing setup. With the correct hitch, this setup can handle up to 40,000 lbs. of towing capacity, based on your provided spec.
The system is commonly used by farms and ag retailers to transport large liquid fertilizer or water tanks between locations, while still giving operators the option to remove the skid and use the semi tractor for other jobs.

What trucks does this work on?
This system is designed for semi tractors and can be adjusted to fit a wide range of makes and models using the slotted frame and adjustable mounting system.
Is this permanently mounted to the truck?
No – that’s the whole advantage. This is a removable system, so your semi can go back to a standard tractor quickly.
What is it primarily used for?
Most commonly:
- hauling large ag tanks
- seed tender setups
- nurse trailers
- general equipment transport
Is this better than buying a dedicated tender truck?
Yes for most operations. You’re using a truck you already own instead of dedicating a full unit to one job.
Can it tow trailers as well?
Yes – with the correct hitch setup, it can tow heavy loads and function as a full tender truck setup.
Is it customizable?
Yes – each unit is built to fit your truck and can be adjusted for future trucks as well.
The ECHO SS Super Skid is designed to work with most semi tractors using a standard fifth wheel / kingpin setup. Its adjustable frame allows fitment across a wide range of truck brands and configurations.
