What is a Low-Bed Trailer?

As the name suggests, low-bed (or lowboy) trailers are models that have a lower profile compared to other units facilitated by a drop deck design. This lower profile makes it possible to haul oversized items or equipment that exceeds normal height restrictions. Low bed trailers are particularly helpful when it comes to transporting extremely heavy loads that would risk unbalancing other trailers and both removable gooseneck trailers, as well as mechanical and hydraulic units, offer superior stability no matter your payload.

Applications

Lowboy trailers have a wide range of applications spanning multiple industries. Because of their compatibility with heavy loads, they are a go-to choice for those in the oil & gas, mining, agriculture, construction, forestry, and related industries. Low bed trailers can be used with rail cars, machinery, construction assets, and other loads that would otherwise be difficult to haul, saving you time and money while delivery the resources you need on-site.

Benefits

As we mentioned above, there are multiple benefits to hauling with lowboy trailers, two of which include:

Stability

Lowboys are designed to have a lower centre of gravity, which in turns grants better stability compared to other styles of trailers. Combined with a wider cargo plane, you can count on low beds to keep your products safe during transport.

Versatile

In addition to enhanced stability, low bed trailers are popular due to their versatile and adaptable Design. Created to handle the heaviest loads with ease, lowboys are well equipped to take on oversized equipment and stock without compromising safety standards or putting either driver or cargo at risk. The low profile of these trailers makes it easy to stay compliant with height regulations and to transport resources from site to site with minimal difficulties.

Why Required lowbed trailer?

1. Heavy Machinery and Equipment: Lowbed trailers are designed to carry heavy machinery and equipment, such as construction machinery, cranes, excavators, bulldozers, and industrial components. These items are often too large, heavy, or cumbersome to be transported on regular trucks.
2. Oversized Loads: When transporting oversized cargo like large tanks, turbines, or wind turbine blades, lowbed trailers are necessary because they offer a lower deck height, which allows the cargo to fit within height restrictions and pass under bridges or overpasses.
3. Tall Cargo: Some cargo items may have considerable height, making it impractical or impossible to fit them into standard trailers. Lowbed trailers with their lower deck height can accommodate taller cargo safely.
4. Stability and Safety: Lowbed trailers have a lower center of gravity compared to standard trailers, providing enhanced stability during transportation. This stability is crucial when carrying heavy and high-value loads over long distances.
5. Bridge and Road Weight Limits: Different countries and regions have weight restrictions for vehicles traveling on their roads and bridges. Lowbed trailers distribute the weight of the cargo more evenly, making it possible to transport heavier loads without exceeding legal weight limits.
6. Construction and Infrastructure Projects: Lowbed trailers are commonly used in construction and infrastructure projects to transport heavy construction equipment and materials to remote or challenging job sites.
7. Energy Sector: In the energy sector, lowbed trailers are often employed to transport components for power plants, oil rigs, and other large-scale energy projects.
8. Mining and Agriculture: The mining and agriculture industries use lowbed trailers to transport heavy machinery, vehicles, and equipment required for their operations.
