A Lowboy is a specialized semi-trailer designed to transport oversized and heavy cargo that exceeds standard height limits.
Key Feature: It features a deck positioned extremely close to the ground , achieved by placing the wheels in a "well" or using multiple axles. This low profile allows tall machinery to pass under bridges and through tunnels safely.
Primary Use: Ideal for hauling heavy construction equipment (excavators, bulldozers), industrial transformers, wind turbine blades, and prefabricated beams.
Types: Common variants include fixed-length lowboys and extendable/telescopic models that can adjust their length to accommodate various cargo sizes.
Advantage: Its low center of gravity ensures superior stability during transit, making it the standard solution for heavy haulage logistics.
