Low Loader Trailer Hire

Low Loader Trailer Hire

Low loaders, or Machinery Carriers, are specialised trailers for transporting tall loads.

As the trailer bed is lower than traditional trailers, this gives the vehicle extra height clearance for bridges and overhead structures. While extending low loaders provide the extra length needed to handle longer cargo.

This makes low loaders ideal for carrying abnormal loads and heavy haulage. As well as construction equipment, plant and machinery.

Our low loader trailers include:

  • Tri-Axle Extending Semi Low
  • Tri-Axle Semi Low
  • Four-Axle Semi Low
