What is a Lowbed Trailer?

A Lowbed trailer, also known as a lowboy or low loader, is a type of trailer with a low deck height and no sides or roof. It is designed to transport oversized or overweight cargo that cannot be accommodated on a standard trailer. The low deck height allows for taller cargo to be transported while remaining within height restrictions. Lowbed trailers are commonly used to transport heavy equipment such as construction machinery, cranes, and large vehicles. They are typically pulled by a heavy-duty truck with a power unit and are equipped with ramps to facilitate loading and unloading of the cargo.
