40 ft low-bed trailer hire

A low-bed drops the deck as close to the road as the design allows. For tall plant that is not a convenience — it is the only reason the load can travel at all.

These are the jobs where getting the vehicle wrong is expensive, so it is worth a conversation before anything is booked.

Concrete transit mixer truck carried as cargo on a low-bed trailer

When you need this trailer

  • Self-propelled plant carried as cargo

    Self-propelled plant carried as cargo

    A transit mixer or similar vehicle moved as a load rather than driven. Tall, heavy and awkward, and the deck height is what makes it possible.

  • Crusher and plant sections

    Crusher and plant sections

    Processing plant sections are frequently over-dimensional in more than one direction. These need route planning and, depending on the dimensions, permits and escorts.

  • Construction and site machinery

    Construction and site machinery

    Machinery moving between sites, often loading somewhere without a proper hard standing.

Specifications

Specifications on request. Deck length, deck height and payload vary between vehicles, and the figure that matters depends on your cargo. Call us with the load and we will give you the exact dimensions of the vehicle we would send.

What we will ask when you call

  1. Where it is loading and where it is going.
  2. What the cargo is and roughly what it weighs.
  3. Its dimensions — especially height.
  4. How it will be loaded: crane, forklift, or driven on.
  5. When you need it.

If you do not know all of it yet, call anyway. We would rather start the conversation than wait for a complete spec.

FAQ

Questions about this trailer

Is an over-dimensional load the same as ODC?

Yes — ODC stands for Over Dimensional Cargo. If your load exceeds the standard dimensions or permissible weight it is an ODC movement, which needs the route planned and permissions obtained first. We cover that on our ODC page.

My machine is over-dimensional — can you still move it?

Often yes, but it depends on the actual dimensions and the route. Over-dimensional movements may need permits, a planned route and sometimes an escort. Send us the dimensions and the two locations and we will tell you honestly what is involved.

Do you arrange permits?

We will tell you what a movement needs and coordinate it. What is required depends on the dimensions, the states crossed and the route, so it is settled per job rather than promised in advance.
