A cantilever extension for a primary trailer is provided. The primary trailer includes a frame that extends from a hitch end to a rear end, and a primary trailer deck coupled to the primary trailer frame. The cantilever extension includes a cantilever deck. The cantilever extension is rotatably coupled to the primary trailer frame proximate to the rear end, and the cantilever extension is rotatable between a stow position, wherein the cantilever deck is oriented in a substantially face-to-face relationship with the primary trailer deck, and a deployed position, wherein the cantilever deck is oriented substantially co-planar with, and aft of, the primary trailer deck. The cantilever extension in the deployed position is supported solely via coupling to the primary trailer.
