What Are Heavy Haul Trailers?

If you work in the construction industry, being able to haul around heavy equipment and materials is crucial. Heavy haul trailers are a key part of this process. These trailers can help you transport oversized loads legally and safely, allowing you to make sure they get to the right location.

You have a wide range of hauling trailers to choose from at Royal Truck & Utility Trailer, including:

  • Lowboy trailers, which have low flatbeds and can carry up to 35 tons
  • Extendable trailers, which can extend to carry bigger loads
  • Drop deck trailers, which can help you transport unusually tall loads

Heavy Hauling in Construction

Materials and equipment for a construction project can both be incredibly heavy and may be more than the average vehicle can handle. You might not have a hard time transporting small amounts of stone, for example, but if you have upwards of 35 tons for a large project, you’ll need something a little more heavy-duty.

Heavy haulers work perfectly in this regard; these trailers use multi-axles to help transport large loads, some of which may reach 55 tons or more. Choosing the right trailer can help you transport materials and equipment more quickly, saving time and effort and boosting productivity. Take the time to assess your needs, then explore your options to find the right one for you.

The Superior Design of Lowboy Trailers for Optimal Efficiency

If you’re searching for heavy haul trailers to transport tall, heavy loads, the lowboy trailer may be an excellent option. These construction equipment trailers feature a lower bed than normal, which:

  • Makes it easier to transport tall equipment or large amounts of materials
  • Makes loading and unloading easier, helping to improve onsite efficiency

The lower bed isn’t the only exciting feature of these trailers. Lowboy trailers come with a superior payload capacity, letting you transport several tons’ worth of equipment or materials with ease. This puts them above many other trailers, making them an excellent choice for any construction company.

Enhancing Safety and Compliance in Equipment Transport

Heavy equipment or massive amounts of material could cause a significant amount of damage if you don’t transport it correctly. Heavy haul trailers incorporate a range of safety features to protect you and others.

For example, multiple axles help to distribute weight and make it easier to haul oversized loads safely. In addition, some trailers — like the lowboy — include a lower bed, which can make it easier to navigate underneath low overhangs. Explore each option to learn more about individual safety features and find one that suits your needs.

In addition, you’ll likely need to adhere to certain road safety and transportation regulations. Manufacturers design heavy haul trailers with these in mind, helping you avoid legal complications.

Real-World Applications of Heavy Haul Trailers

Heavy haulers can play a key role in all sorts of construction projects. For example, a contractor may use them to transport:

  • Large loads of dirt to help level a plot of land
  • Forklifts or heavy machinery, which can help move materials once at the construction site
  • Bricks to help with the construction of a building
  • Large rocks for a major renovation project, whether for a public space or a private one

These trailers are incredibly versatile and able to transport just about any sort of oversized load for a wide range of projects. Whether you need to work on a commercial space or build an entirely new building, heavy haul trailers have the capability to help you get the job done.
