Step-frame Low Loader Trailers
Semi-low loader trailers
The ‘knife and fork’ of the construction and contractor’s plant-mover.
Equipped with hydraulic ramps and winches to make plant and vehicle transportation safe and straightforward. Ideal for medium-weight loads such as 13- and 24-tonne excavators, dump-trucks, wheeled shovels, crushing plants, topsoil and aggregate screeners, larger agricultural tractors and implements, piling rigs and bulldozers. Their lower-than-standard carry decks mean that over-height items can be moved.
We’ve leveraged increased productivity by coupling these trailers to HIAB tractor units and adding winches and removable bolsters, to facilitate the delivery and self-offloading of large structural elements, such as steel or timber roof trusses, plus large diameter coils of plastic pipe that needs to stand vertical for transport.
Their versatility is such that we’ve shifted all sorts of weird and wonderful loads over the years.
