Our Lowboy Trailers

Buy a Lowboy Trailer with Midland. Our Lowboys are designed with adjustable deck widening features that allow for the transportation of oversized items and loads. Built with Australian steel, our trailers are reliable and renowned for their quality and high performance. 

What is a Lowboy Trailer?

A Lowboy Trailer is a term that originated in America. The basic Lowboy Trailer is the same as a Drop Deck Widener and our Low Loaders, such as Quad Axle Low Loader or Tri Axle Low Loader. These trailers have specific deck widening features which allow you to transport oversized haulage. Because of this, Lowboy’s are perfect for transporting goods that relate to the construction, agriculture, mining and energy industries.

Midland's Lowboy Trailers are celebrated for their exceptional load-bearing capacity, making them indispensable for various heavy haulage needs. Designed to transport oversized equipment such as construction machinery, large vehicles, or industrial components, these trailers offer a lowered deck to accommodate taller items. This facilitates safe loading and unloading and ensures stability by lowering the centre of gravity of heavy loads, thereby reducing the risk of tipping and accidents.

All Midland trailers, including our Lowboys, are equipped with multivolt LED lighting systems for superior visibility on the road, regardless of time or weather conditions. The trailers also incorporate an advanced plug and play wiring harness, ensuring reliability in electrical connections and ease of maintenance. This combination of features ensures that every Lowboy trailer from Midland offers both the strength to carry heavy and oversized loads and the safety features necessary to transport them securely.

Our Lowboy trailers undergo stringent testing to meet the highest standards of durability and performance. This ensures they not only perform exceptionally but also provide a long service life and excellent investment value.

Recognising that each person has unique requirements, Midland offers extensive customisation options for our Lowboy trailers. You can choose from adjustable deck configurations, multiple tie-down points and more. Our dedicated team will work closely with you to ensure your trailer is perfectly tailored to their operational needs.
