What is A Low Loader?
A low loader, also known by various other names, is a specialised type of trailer designed for transporting heavy and oversized loads, typically machinery, equipment, or industrial components. It is characterised by its low deck height, allowing for the easy loading and unloading of tall or heavy cargo. Some other names commonly used for a low loader include:
- Lowboy Trailer: This term is frequently used in North America to refer to a low loader.
- Float Trailer: In some regions, particularly in the UK and Australia, a low loader may be referred to as a float trailer.
- Drop Deck Trailer: The deck of a low loader is often dropped, creating a lower profile and facilitating the transportation of taller items.
- Double Drop Trailer: This refers to a low loader with a deck that drops both in the front and rear, providing even more space for tall cargo.
- Lowbed Trailer: Similar to lowboy, this term is often used interchangeably with low loader in various regions.

Types Of Equipment & Machinery Transported
There are several types of machinery that can be transported on a low loader trailer:
Excavators
Low loaders are commonly used to transport excavators like backhoes, diggers, etc. The excavator sits on the trailer secured for transportation.
Bulldozers
Bulldozers and other earth-moving equipment are often hauled on lowboy trailers from job site to job site. Their weight and size require a low trailer to load and unload.
Cranes
Mobile cranes, both all-terrain and truck-mounted, are moved on low loader trailers. The crane can drive or get winched onto the trailer. You may need to remove Outriggers and counterweights before transportation.
Forklifts
Larger forklifts and telehandlers that won’t safely drive on roads can be loaded onto low loader trailers. The forks and attachments are removed and secured separately.
Boilers
Large industrial or power plant boilers are commonly transported on low loaders since they are very heavy and oversized. Special permitting is required.
Transformers
Electrical transformers, switchgear and substations can be hauled on low-loader trailers when they need to be moved or replaced. Their weight necessitates a low trailer.
Turbines
Low loaders are used to transport large turbines for power generation, wind farms, etc. Blade widths often exceed road limits.
Construction Equipment
Any oversized construction machinery like pavers, compactors, and concrete pumps may require a low loader trailer for transport if they can’t be driven on roads safely. Oversized loads will require special permitting.
