Heavy EquipmentHeavy Load Hauling
When it comes to freight and equipment transport, the trailer matters just as much as the truck. Choosing the wrong type can lead to delays, safety issues, and costly damage. At Save On Transport, we match each load with the optimal trailer—because getting it right from the start means everything arrives safely at the finish.
Flatbed Trailers: The Workhorse of Hauling
Ideal for: Equipment, steel coils, pallets, crates
Flatbeds are the most versatile trailer type, offering easy loading and unloading from all sides. However, they require secure weatherproofing and proper load balancing, which our experts manage with precision.
Step Deck (Drop Deck) Trailers
Ideal for: Taller loads that exceed height limits on flatbeds
These trailers offer a lower deck height, allowing equipment like tractors or tall machinery to be hauled legally without special permits. They’re a favorite for agricultural and industrial transport.
Lowboy Trailers: Heavy-Duty for Heavy Loads
Ideal for: Oversized and extremely heavy equipment
With a deck just inches off the ground, lowboys accommodate extreme height and weight. They’re perfect for dozers, cranes, and large excavators. Save On Transport ensures proper axle spacing and escort services when required.
RGN (Removable Gooseneck) Trailers
Ideal for: Equipment that needs to be driven onto the trailer
These trailers “detach” at the front to form a ramp. RGN trailers are often used for vehicles and equipment that can’t be lifted easily.
Tilt Deck Trailers
Ideal for: Container transport or jobs without a loading dock
The tilting mechanism allows for easy roll-on/roll-off loading—essential for moving shipping containers, especially in residential or remote areas.
Why Trailer Matching Matters
Every trailer type has strengths—and risks. Load weight, height, length, and value all influence what trailer should be used. Our logistics team evaluates your cargo and project details to ensure proper selection, minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency.
