You could be transporting anything from heavy iron blocks to tall equipment like cranes. That&#8217;s why selecting the right type of trailer to accommodate each is essential. Choosing the right type depends on equipment characteristics such as height clearance, loading angle and axle capacity. A few commonly used trailer types include:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyequipmenttransport.com\/trailers\/flatbed-trailer-transport.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Flatbed Trailers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-deck versatile trailers are used for standard cargo like lumber, pipes and steel beams.

The upper deck being 60 inches, while the lower deck ranging from 38-42 inches. Primarily used for taller cargo that is taller but not too heavy: Excavators, for instance,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyequipmenttransport.com\/trailers\/lowboy-trailer-transport-services.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><b>Lowboy Trailers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of trailer has extremely low deck heights (18-24 inches) and can feature a fixed\/removable gooseneck. Chiefly used for heavy and tall equipment that exceeds height limits on other trailers. The types of cargo for these include backhoes and cranes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heavyequipmenttransport.com\/trailers\/rgn-trailer-transport.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>RGN (Removable Goose Neck) Trailers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, features a low deck height (18-24 inches). The added advantage sis that the front detaches to create a drive-on ramp. Useful for loading equipment that cannot be loaded directly from a staging area.

Secure each of them and make sure they remain within the dimensions of the trailer. If necessary, oversized permits might be required if the appendage goes beyond the limits.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.
