Heavy Equipment Transport:
RGN Trailer
Also known as a Removeable Gooseneck, lowboy, or double drop. This is by far our favorite type all around type of trailer. This type of trailer hauls pretty much everything big and heavy with just increasing the number of axles on the trailer. Pictured is a 4 axle and the smallest/standard that they come. At 28-29ft of “well space” or lower deck, 10-11ft of front and rear deck area and 35-40000lbs weight range (4 axle no permits) or higher these can haul about anything.
The lower desk is also 18in high from the ground allowing for 12-12.6H units (depending on state) to be hauled without height permits, big deal! These are also the type of trailer and driver that deals with width and overweight permits.
Oversized Load Transport, Heavy Equipment Transport:
RGNs are converted and used for highly specialized transports such as large vessel, container tanks, turbines … the list goes on.
When a trailer simply doesn’t have enough axles to cover the total weight or ground displacement needed they can add a “stinger” trailer which is towed behind the normal multi-axle trailer adding addition weight bearing axles and length.
Beam trailers haul the super heavy and tall units and are suspended by their undercarriage sitting on a single beam down the middle instead of tracks or tires sitting on a trailer deck. This also reduces height significantly helping with permits.
Semi Truck Transport, Step Deck Trailer Transport:
Better than an RGN for some loads step decks are also highly versatile coming with 48-53ft of total deck space (11-12ft of it is front deck). A driver with 2 sets of ramps can utilize his front deck as well for maximum deck space efficiency. Step deck’s usually like to run at 35000lbs maximum weight and with a 3ft deck height they can haul items up to 10.6-11ft high without permits (dependent on state).
Equipment Transport,
Partial and Less Than Load Transport(LTL):
Known to many as a Hotshot trailer this is what hauls most of the slightly smaller/lighter loads. They come in many different lengths from 20-44ft long and are typically tandem axle with either dovetail (mega ramps) as pictured or pullout/detachable ramps. The mega ramps as pictured are much preferred and can handle more weight and even 3 wheel or narrow wheel spaced units like the tiny golf cart pictured.
Deck height is 3ft and can handle weights maximums from 18-22000lbs typically depending on driver and trailer setup.
