If the deck height of a Semi Low Loader is too great, it
may be necessary to utilise a conventional low loader. In
this instance, the deck height is generally between 0.40
and 0.65m (H1). It follows that the lowest versions, sometimes
also known as slim or wafer decks, have a much reduced payload,
due to the profile of the deck. Main decks generally have
a length of 8.00/9.00 (B), with the rear deck length being
dependent on the number of axles – two, three or four. The
majority of low loaders have a removable neck (A), for ease
of loading self propelled cargo i.e. construction equipment
etc.
Extendible Low Loaders
A limited number of Low Loaders offer extendible main decks.
Generally, these are intended for light weight, volume cargo
i.e. silos, yachts etc. In most cases, the level of extendibility
is limited, taking the main deck from around 9.00m to possibly
14.00m (B). However, stg can offer modular, extendible low
loaders capable of accommodating cargo up to 20m length (B).
As with extendible, semi low loaders, these are equipped
with remote steering, enabling the trailer to manoeuvre in
restricted spaces.
This is only a brief, general description. For more detailed
