Reading's Redi-Dek™ is a sturdy steel platform offering the ability to utilize 2" x 4" stake posts or pull a gooseneck trailer. All body parts are electrically welded into one integral unit.

The Redi-Dek™ receives Reading's Lectro-Life® immersion priming for superior rust protection.  In the Lectro-Life® process, the platforms are submerged in a vat of electrically charged primer adhering the paint to the steel.

The Redi-Dek™ (including understructure) is finished with a black top coat.
