Lowboy trailers are defined by how they sit close to the ground and their usefulness in moving tall equipment. The average lowboy trailer consists of two axles and two drops in their construction. One drop comes after the gooseneck and the other forms before the trailer’s wheels. Heavy duty lowboy trailers can include up to eight axles and accommodate and haul between 40,000 and 80,000 pounds.

There are different types of lowboy trailers as well, including:

• Fixed Gooseneck Lowboy Trailers (FGL)
• Fixed Neck Lowboy Trailers
• Removable Gooseneck Lowboy Trailers (RGN)

Each type varies in overall weight, dimensions, their maximum hauling capability, and so on. Before selecting a lowboy trailer, you should know how much weight you will be hauling.
