Collection: Lowboy Trailers
If you're considering adding a lowboy trailer to your fleet, finding one at an affordable price is a smart investment for your business. Often referred to as a lowbed or double drop trailer, this type of semi-trailer is named for its two deck-height drops. The lowered deck enhances safety during heavy haul transport and simplifies the loading of tall, wide, and heavy equipment.
The term "lowboy gooseneck trailer" comes from the curved, arched front end—or "neck"—that connects the trailer to trucks or other heavy-duty vehicles. To learn more about the various types of lowboy trailers, their advantages, and their uses, keep reading for further details.
Types of Lowboy Trailers
-
Removable Gooseneck Trailer (RGN): This trailer is designed with a detachable gooseneck, allowing easy loading and unloading by lowering the deck. It provides a seamless way to load heavy machinery and equipment efficiently.
-
Fixed Neck Lowboy: A fixed neck lowboy has a permanently attached gooseneck that cannot be adjusted or removed. While this design is less flexible and makes loading more challenging, it maintains a simple and sturdy structure.
-
Hydraulic Neck Lowboy: Hydraulic detachable goosenecks (HDGs) use hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the deck while attached to the truck. This feature ensures safer, faster, and easier loading. Adjustable front deck height allows customization for uneven terrains. Examples include 110HDG (110,000 lbs capacity) and 120HDG (120,000 lbs capacity) models.
-
Mechanical Neck Lowboy: Lightweight and cost-effective, these trailers require manual labor with pins, cranks, and levers to attach and detach. While maintenance is simpler and cheaper, the process takes longer compared to hydraulic alternatives.
-
Air Neck Lowboy: Featuring an air suspension system, these trailers rely on airbags and compressors to raise and lower the gooseneck. They are quick and efficient for loading tasks, offering an alternative to hydraulic systems.
-
Extendable Lowboy Trailers: Designed for oversized and extra-long loads, these trailers have adjustable deck lengths to accommodate varying cargo sizes. With multiple axles for added weight support, models like 110HDE and 90HDE are commonly used in this category.
