Types of the Different Heavy Haulers Trailers

If you need a straight flatbed, a lowboy, step deck, stretch single drop, double drop, RGN or a custom fabricated flatbed; Heavy Haul Transporting can outfit you with the appropriate trailer. We can work with trailer manufacturers, if need be, to customize trailers for special loads.

Heavy equipment hauling services transport loads to many different destinations across the United States and Canada. Usually, a multi axle trailer is pulled by a heavy duty tractor trailer. Heavy haulers are in fact designated by the number of axles that weight can be distributed on. The more axles a trailer has the more weight it can carry. 2,4,5,9,13 19 are just some of the typical axle numbers that can be found in flatbed transportation service trailers.
