Lowboy Semi Trailers

Lowboy semi-trailers are a popular choice for heavy-duty transportation needs. They are specifically designed to carry loads that are too heavy or too large to be transported by a standard trailer. In this essay, we will take a closer look at what lowboy semi-trailers are, their structures, different types, differences from standard trailers, their usage, and the advantages of Tân Thanh Container's lowboy semi-trailers.

What is a lowboy semi-trailer ?

A lowboy semi-trailer (low-loader in British English, low-bed in Western Canada and South Africa, or float in Australia and Eastern Canada) is a semi-trailer with two deck height drops one immediately after the gooseneck and one immediately before the wheels. When compared to other trailers, this allows the deck to be extremely low.  Lowboy semi-trailers can carry legal loads up to 12 ft (3.66 m) tall, which other trailers cannot. Lowboy semi trailers are used to transport heavy equipment like bulldozers and large industrial machinery.

Lowboy semi-trailer structure

A lowboy semi-trailer is a type of trailer designed to haul heavy equipment and oversized loads. It is called a lowboy because it has a low center of gravity, which allows it to carry heavier loads without tipping over. Unlike standard semi-trailers, lowboy semi-trailers are built closer to the ground and have a longer bed to accommodate taller loads. This design also allows for more effortless loading and unloading of equipment onto the trailer.

Different types of lowboy semi-trailers

In the fact, there are three types of lowboy semi-trailers: fixed gooseneck lowboys, fixed neck lowboys, and removable gooseneck lowboys

Fixed gooseneck lowboy 

The fixed gooseneck lowboy semi-trailer is the first type of lowboy semi-trailer. This type of trailer, also known as an FGN, is lightweight and has a longer deck length.

Because it is a lowboy, an FGN is low to the ground and usually has drop ramps in the back for quick and easy equipment loading.

Lowboy semi-trailer with fixed neck

The fixed-neck lowboy semi-trailer is the second type of lowboy semi-trailer. This trailer has a fixed neck that cannot be detached for easy loading, making loading difficult from the front. It does, however, have the lightest weight.

Lowboy semi-trailer with removable gooseneck (RGN)

The removable gooseneck lowboy semi-trailer is the third type of lowboy semi-trailer. This semi-trailer, also known as an RGN, has a shorter deck length. Thanks to a hydraulic system that can raise and lower the trailer on demand, the gooseneck can be quickly and easily detached. An RGN is perfect for driving, rolling, pushing, or pulling equipment onto a trailer bed.
