What is a ​lowbed trailer?

Low Bed Trailer: A Heavy-Duty Transporter

A low bed trailer is a specialized trailer designed to transport heavy and oversized loads. Its defining characteristic is an extremely low deck height, a unique design that allows for the transportation of tall equipment that standard trailers cannot accommodate.   

There are two primary types of low bed trailers. One type utilizes a removable or hydraulic goose neck to further lower the deck height for loading and unloading purposes. The other type features a ramp at the rear of the trailer, enabling self-propelled equipment to drive on and off.

Key features of lowbed trailers include:

Heavy-duty capacity: Constructed with higher-quality materials than standard trailers, they can handle heavier loads.

Low deck height: The low deck design allows for the transportation of tall loads, improving ground clearance and facilitating the loading and unloading of self-propelled equipment.

Robust construction: Designed to handle heavy machinery and equipment.   

Versatility: Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations.   

Common applications:

Construction equipment: Excavators, bulldozers, cranes, etc.

Agricultural machinery: Harvesters, tractors, etc.

Industrial equipment: Generators, transformers, etc.
