Lowbed & Heavy Trailers

Built for the job

Our lowbed trailers keep the centre of gravity low and the load secure. A drop-deck design, reinforced gooseneck and hydraulic or mechanical ramps allow tracked and wheeled machinery to be loaded safely and moved legally under height restrictions.

Lowbed trailers move the heaviest and tallest loads on the road, so every design starts with the load itself — its weight, its footprint and how it will be loaded. A dropped deck keeps the load low enough to clear bridges and overhead lines, while the gooseneck and main beams are sized to carry concentrated track and outrigger loads without deflection.

Tracked machinery is driven on over rear ramps, which can be mechanical spring-assisted or hydraulically operated. For very long or tall equipment, a detachable gooseneck allows front loading: the deck is lowered to the ground and the machine is driven straight on.

Axle count is selected to spread the load within legal axle limits. Configurations range from compact 3-axle units for mid-sized excavators to 8-axle trailers with extendable decks for cranes, transformers and plant modules.

How it is built

1. 01
   Chassis & frame

   Deep-section high-tensile main beams with a reinforced gooseneck transition, welded with full penetration.

2. 02
   Running gear

   Heavy-duty bogie or rocker-beam suspension with low-profile tyres to keep deck height down.

3. 03
   Braking & electrical

   Dual-line air brakes on every axle, ABS optional, LED lighting and wide-load marker lamps.

4. 04
   Loading equipment

   Spring-assisted or hydraulic ramps, wheel wells and heavy lashing rings rated to the load.

5. 05
   Surface protection

   Shot blasting and an industrial paint system, with a hardwood or steel deck to suit tracked equipment.

Standard features & options

• Wheel wells for oversize equipment
• Heavy lashing rings rated per load
• Steel or hardwood deck
• Widening extensions available
