Low loader FAQs
What does a low loader do?
A low loader is a specialised type of trailer designed to transport tall or oversized cargo, such as heavy machinery, industrial equipment or large vehicles. The key feature of a low loader is its deck height, which is significantly lower than that of standard trailers. This low deck allows for the transportation of tall cargo without exceeding height restrictions on roadways.
Low loaders often feature “flip toe” ramps at the back, allowing vehicles and machinery to be easily driven onto the trailer, and making the loading or unloading of cargo easier.
What is a low trailer?
A low loader is also known as a low trailer or lowboy. This trailer type is designed with a deck closer to the ground, enabling the transportation of taller loads while maintaining compliance with height regulations on the roads.
What is the difference between a low loader and a low bed?
The terms “low loader” and “low bed” are often used interchangeably, generally referring to the same type of trailer designed for transporting tall cargo. However, it’s worth noting that “low bed” is a broader term that can encompass various types of trailers with lower deck heights, including low loaders.
How high is a low loader trailer?
