Popular Low Loader Trailers
Among our range of Low Loader Trailers, two of our most popular builds are the Tri Axle Low Loader and the Quad Axle Low Loader. Both trailers are designed with strength and durability in mind and can accommodate heavy payloads. The key difference between these two trailers is that the extra Quad Axle Low Loader allows for more even weight distribution and, therefore, can carry heavier loads. Midland’s Quad Axle Low Loaders can carry up to 6 tonnes more than our Tri Axle Low Loaders.
Custom-built Low Loader Trailers
Our Low Loaders can be customised with various axle, deck widening and other features. So, if you want to customise the configurations of Tri Axle Low Loader or Quad Axle Low Loader, or maybe you’re looking for a completely different type of Low Loader, contact us and we’ll talk you through the different options.
