40 ft semi-low-bed trailer hire

A semi-low-bed has a dropped centre section, so the deck sits lower than a flatbed without going to a full low-bed. That extra clearance is often the difference between a machine travelling legally and not travelling at all.

It is the usual choice for access equipment and mid-sized plant.

When you need this trailer

  • Access equipment and boom lifts

    Access equipment and boom lifts

    Self-propelled booms and scissor lifts drive on under their own power, so what matters is ramp angle and ground clearance, not just weight. We move this equipment regularly.

  • Wheeled and tracked plant

    Wheeled and tracked plant

    Compactors, small excavators and similar machines that are too tall for a flat deck but do not need a full low-bed.

  • Machinery going to an unmade site

    Loading and unloading at a site without a hard standing needs a sensible approach and a driver who has done it before.

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

How do I know if I need a semi-low-bed rather than a low-bed?

It usually comes down to the loaded height and whether the machine drives on. Tell us the machine make and model, or just its height and weight, and we will tell you which deck it needs.

Does the machine drive on, or is it craned?

Either. Self-propelled equipment usually drives on via ramps. If your machine cannot move under its own power, say so with the enquiry so we can plan lifting at both ends.
