LOW BED LOADING METHODS
Trailers for Port and Project Cargo
Six equipment types used to move containers, machinery and oversized cargo between ports, yards and project sites.
01 Rear loading low bed
Three-axle semi low-loader
38.8 t trailer payload
Hydraulic rear ramps let wheeled and tracked machines drive onto the deck.
Useful for excavators, loaders and other port or construction equipment. The example has an 860 mm loading height.
02 Front loading low bed
Detachable gooseneck lowboy
49.9 t trailer payload | 55 US short tons
The hydraulic gooseneck detaches so equipment can drive on from the front.
The model is rated for 110,000 lb over half the deck length. It suits tall or tracked machinery.
Figures apply to the stated examples or configurations. Permitted road loads depend on tractor and trailer setup, axle limits, route and permits.
SPECIALIST CARGO HANDLING
Container and Modular Transport
A sidelifter transfers containers at ground level. A modular transporter moves heavy cargo across terminals and project sites.
03 Sideloading trailer
Container sidelifter with stabiliser legs
36 t safe working load for lifting
Two onboard lifting arms transfer a container between the trailer, ground or another chassis.
The 36 t figure is the lifting rating. Road payload depends on chassis tare, axle limits and the route.
04 SPMT
Self-propelled modular transporter
Up to 333.9 t payload per six-axle-line module
The featured module design is rated up to 60 t per axle line.
Modules can be coupled for shipyard blocks, offshore structures and plant modules. Combined payload depends on the engineered configuration.
HEAVY AND LONG LOADS
Multi Axle and Extendable Trailers
Additional axles spread heavy loads. A telescopic deck provides length for long cargo.
05 Multi-axle low bed
Heavy low-loader with front and rear axle groups
30–135 t payload across the model range
The additional axle groups distribute the load from the low deck.
Used for transformers, mining equipment and other heavy project cargo. Payload varies with axle configuration.
06 Extendable trailer
Telescopic flatbed
Up to 42.5 t technical payload at 80 km/h
The featured three-axle specification extends from 13.5 m to 21.5 m overall.
Used for long self-supporting loads such as steel beams and concrete sections. Loading limits depend on extension and support positions.
