The Semi Low Loader is the “workhorse” of the oversize cargo
market. Combining the maximum possible deck length (within
the regulations), with a low deck height, this style of special
trailer is suited to both over height and over width cargo.
Normally configured with three, four or five axles, these
trailers generally offer 3.25/3.50m on the upper deck (A),
between 8.75 and 9.50m on the main deck (B), with the deck
height varying between 0.75 and 0.95m (H).
Extendible, Semi Low Loaders
The vast majority of Semi Low Loaders also offer extendibility
on the main deck. Dependent on whether the trailer in question
is a single, double or triple extendible version, deck lengths
in excess 35m (B) are achievable (for indivisible cargo).
However, in order to manoeuvre and, at one and the same time,
satisfy international regulations, extendible trailers have
to be fitted with sophisticated steering mechanisms. Equally,
many semi low loaders are equipped with ramps, making it
possible to load/discharge self propelled cargo, thereby
avoiding crane expenses.
