Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lowboy trailer?
A lowboy trailer is a specialized trailer with two drops in deck height: One directly after the gooseneck and another right before the wheels. Compared to other trailers, and as the name suggests, this trailer’s deck is extremely low to the ground, providing the ability to transport loads up to 12 ft tall, meaning it can carry extra-tall cargo.
What are the advantages of tubeless tires on a lowboy trailer?
There are many advantages to using tubeless tires on a lowboy trailer. The biggest advantage is that they reduce the weight of the trailer, which can help reduce fuel costs. Tubeless tires also have a long service life, and good wear resistance, so they can be used for long distance transportation.
What is a double drop deck lowboy trailer?
A double drop deck lowboy trailer is a type of lowboy trailer that has two sets of gooseneck brackets. When the trailer is loaded, the first set of brackets goes into the first pair of receiver downrights and the second set attaches to the gooseneck located in between the first and second set of receiver downrights. This allows for maximum cargo room while keeping the trailer as level as possible.
What are the different types of gooseneck lowboy trailers?
There are three main types of gooseneck lowboy trailers: hydraulic, mechanical, and dual-purpose. hydraulically operated hydraulic gooseneck trailers are powered by a pump that creates a force that pulls the trailer up and down. This type is often the most popular because it is easy to use, requires no extra work from the contractor, and is very stable. mechanical gooseneck trailers are powered by a motor that operates the winch or pulley system to pull the trailer up and down. This type tends to be more challenging to operate but can offer a more customized experience for the contractor. dual-purpose trailers can be either hydraulically or mechanically operated, depending on their features. These trailers are designed to be used as both a mobile worksite and storage solution, with different sections able to be raised or lowered independently.
