Lowbed Semi Trailer

FAQ About New Lowbed Semi Trailers

Q1: What are the main types of lowbed trailers available at Archer Machinery?
We supply a wide range of brand-new lowbed trailers, including Standard Lowbeds for construction machinery, Detachable Gooseneck (RGN) trailers for front-loading heavy equipment, and Extendable Lowbeds for extra-long cargo. We offer configurations from 2 to 10+ axles to meet your specific payload requirements.

Q2: How much weight can your lowbed trailers carry?
Our lowbed trailers are engineered for heavy-duty performance, with load capacities ranging from 30 tons to over 150 tons. For extreme loads, we use high-tensile HG60 or Q460 steel and reinforced suspension systems to ensure the trailer can handle the concentrated weight of heavy excavators and crawlers.

Q3: What are the options for the loading ramps?
Depending on your operation, you can choose between Manual Spring Ramps (cost-effective and durable) or Hydraulic Ramps (easier and safer for single-operator use). For equipment with very low ground clearance, we provide extra-long ramps or folding ramps to reduce the loading angle.

Q4: How do you protect the trailer deck from wear and tear?
We offer different flooring options to suit your cargo. Checkered steel plates provide durability for general machinery, while Tropical Hardwood (Apitong) inserts are available to increase friction and prevent steel-tracked machines (like dozers) from slipping during transport.

Q5: Where can I buy replacement ramps, axles, and heavy-duty tires?
Heavy-haul trailers operate under immense stress. You can source genuine 13T/16T/20T axles, suspension leaf springs, hydraulic ramp cylinders, and specialized low-profile tires through our dedicated parts network: www.archerparts.com.
