Lowboy Trailer Hauling for All Heavy Equipment and Machinery
Lowboy trailers are the workhorses of the heavy equipment shipping industry. They’re useful for moving equipment, machinery, and cargo for a variety of industries. These are almost ubiquitous in farming, mining, construction, and freight transport around the globe. Lowboy trailers are also known as a double drop, low loader, low-bed, or a float depending on what part of the world you are in. They’re all referred to as a semi-trailer with a drop deck. Heavy Haulers provides lowboy hauling for just your trailer, or we can provide the lowboy trailer to transport your freight.
Lowboy trailers are used to move large machinery that isn’t road rated, despite having wheels, such as bulldozers, backhoes, and dump trucks. They’re constructed with two drops on the trailer, allowing taller equipment that can’t be disassembled to ship through low-clearance areas. Typical freight height restrictions are 8’, which many larger machines may exceed on a different type of trailer. The maximum weight for a two-axle lowboy trailer is 40,000 pounds, but the weight limit can be increased up to 80,000 pounds total weight of the trailer, and load depending on the number of axles required.
