A lowboy trailer is a type of flatbed trailer designed for transporting heavy equipment and machinery. Its low profile allows for a lower center of gravity, making it easier to load and unload tall or heavy items. This design is particularly useful for transporting construction equipment, such as excavators and bulldozers. Lowboy trailers typically have two drops in their deck height, which helps accommodate taller loads without exceeding height restrictions on roads. They come in various lengths and weight capacities, making them versatile for different hauling needs. Many lowboy trailers are equipped with ramps for easy access, enhancing their functionality in transporting large items.
