4 Axle Folding Gooseneck Lowbed Trailer – Compact Transport Solution
Payload: 60 t / 80 t / 100 t – suits telehandlers, pavers, and short‑radius excavators
Two‑piece folding gooseneck folds rearward onto deck – no detachment required; reduces lost parts and setup time
Low empty weight (≈11 t) via high‑tensile steel – tows with medium‑duty tractors; saves fuel on return trips
4 × 15‑t axles with swing‑arm rubber suspension – absorbs shock without hydraulic maintenance
Folds to 2.8 m transport height for empty backhaul – fits under low bridges and into container yards

Packaging and delivery
Packaging Method
Packaging Method
To effectively reduce ocean freight costs, the extended lowbed trailer is delivered in SKD (Semi-Knocked Down) format. This packaging approach allows all components to be compactly loaded into containers, significantly improving space utilization:
- Gooseneck section Detached from the main frame and packed separately to prevent collision with other components during transit
- Main frame : Positioned horizontally at the bottom of the container, with outriggers fully extended to maintain overall balance and stability
- Extendable deck : Shortened to its minimum length to maximize space efficiency and facilitate container loading
---
Packaging Details
- Corrosion prevention : All exposed metal surfaces-including bolts, pins, hydraulic connectors, and other critical components-are coated with anti-rust oil and wrapped with protective film. This dual-layer protection effectively resists salt spray corrosion during ocean transportation
- Component packing : Smaller parts such as lamps, wiring sets, and toolboxes are placed in moisture-resistant, fumigation-exempt plywood boxes or heavy-duty woven bags. This ensures that components remain dry and undamaged throughout long-distance shipping

Extended Lowbed Trailer – Frequently Asked Questions
---
Q1: Does the deck remain level when extended?
Yes. The extension system is designed with synchronized rails and locking mechanisms to ensure the deck remains level and stable at any length. There is no sagging or misalignment, even at full extension under load.
---
Q2: Can I transport both long and short cargo with the same trailer?
Absolutely. This is the main advantage of an extended lowbed. When not extended, it functions as a standard lowbed trailer for everyday loads. When extended, it handles oversized cargo. One trailer serves multiple purposes, saving you the cost of purchasing separate equipment.
---
Q3: What types of cargo is this trailer best suited for?
The extended lowbed is ideal for:
- Wind turbine blades and tower sections
- Bridge beams and precast concrete elements
- Steel structures and long pipes
- Industrial machinery (transformers, generators)
- Mining equipment and large excavators
---
Q4: Does the extension system affect the trailer's weight capacity?
No. The main frame and extension rails are engineered to maintain full rated load capacity even at maximum extension. Reinforced sections ensure structural integrity, and load distribution is carefully calculated for all extension positions.
---
Q5: Can I add extension later if I buy a standard lowbed now?
In most cases, yes. If your trailer was designed with modular rails, the extension kit can be retrofitted. We recommend discussing your future needs at the time of purchase so we can pre-install the necessary mounting points for easier later upgrade.
---
Q6: Does the trailer require special maintenance for the extension system?
Maintenance is minimal. For manual systems, keep rails clean and apply grease to moving parts periodically. For hydraulic systems, check hoses and fittings for leaks, and maintain hydraulic fluid levels. We provide a detailed maintenance schedule with each trailer.
---
Q7: Is the trailer road-legal when fully extended?
This depends on local road regulations. In most countries, the trailer must be retracted to a legal length for highway travel. Extension is typically used for loading, unloading, or slow-speed movement on job sites. We can advise based on your local transport rules.
---
Q8: Can I transport two pieces of equipment at once?
Yes. When extended, the trailer can accommodate two smaller machines or one long piece of equipment. Some customers use the additional deck space to transport a second machine or additional accessories alongside the main cargo.
---
Q9: Can I get a hydraulic gooseneck with the extended lowbed?
Yes. The hydraulic detachable gooseneck (HDG) can be combined with the extended deck. This allows front-end loading for machinery that cannot be rolled onto the rear, providing maximum loading flexibility.
---
Q10: What is the typical delivery time for a custom extended lowbed?
Standard production time is 25–35 working days after confirmation of drawings. Custom features such as hydraulic extension, special paint, or specific axle brands may add 5–10 days.
---
Q11: Do you provide engineering drawings before production?
Yes. We provide detailed CAD drawings for customer approval before production begins. Drawings include deck dimensions, extension range, axle positions, and all key measurements. This ensures the trailer meets your exact requirements.
