If you’re here, you already know that when moving extreme loads—80+ tons—a standard lowboy simply won’t cut it. You need more than just a trailer; you need a Heavy Haul Specialized Lowboy Trailer System that’s built to tackle the toughest jobs.
Optimize your hauling setup with modular components like a flip neck extension, jeep dolly, pin-on axle, and a booster, all designed to distribute weight effectively across multiple axles to meet transportation regulations on your path.
You know the challenges and complexities of heavy hauling, so you will be involved in the custom design process for your unique hauling system tailored with your specific operations in mind.
Our team will work with you to design a versatile trailer system that allows you to stay compliant with weight regulations for each unique haul.
Ready to customize your system? Schedule a no-obligation trailer design discovery session with our in-house heavy haul expert today.
Start by choosing a tridem (3-Axle) or quad (4-Axle) rear bridge and an axle spread of 54”, 55”, 60”, or 72”.
We build lowboys with a wide range of capacity options but recommend that you choose from one of the following HD models for a specialized system:
65-TON | 75-TON | 85-TON
When you have a L.A.B.B.S. integrated with your specialized lowboy system, it will automatically balance your booster and rear bridge axles according to road conditions throughout the hauling journey. L.A.B.B.S. determines the best hydraulic pressure settings to use by measuring the current load on the axles. Our proprietary hardware and software technology will measure the axle loads and adjust the booster hydraulics for the ideal distribution of weight.
All Loadstar Trailers, including our specialized lowboy systems, are built to meet or exceed Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) and U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). This guarantees that your trailer system is not only durable and reliable but also legal for road use across North America.
At Loadstar Trailers, we are committed to designing and building the highest quality heavy haul specialized lowboy systems.
Loadstar Trailers is a family-run operation with over 50 years of experience in heavy hauling trailers. Brothers Joe and Ray Hopper share a deep-rooted passion for designing and building custom heavy haul lowboys, tag trailers, and step decks. They take pride in their work, ensuring that every specialized trailer they manufacture meets the highest standards of quality.
Our trailers feature continuous, single-piece steel main rails made from quenched and tempered 100 ksi yield strength material, ensuring maximum durability. Each bullet, lug, and teardrop is machined in-house with precision. Rather than cutting weight-bearing holes, we bore them to maintain structural integrity. Every lowboy trailer is custom-built from start to finish to meet the buyer’s specific requirements.
At Loadstar, we carefully select every component used in the construction process, from hydraulic systems to hose fittings, ensuring premium quality and dependability. Whenever possible, we source parts from trusted North American manufacturers. Each part is meticulously installed, with close attention to detail, to guarantee reliability and performance.
Specialized lowboy systems have the ability to distribute heavy loads across more axles, balancing the weight between individual axles. This ensures compliance with local and federal road regulations, reducing the risk of fines and improving overall safety during transport.
The modular design of specialized lowboy trailer systems means you can adjust your setup to match each unique load. Whether you need to add a jeep dolly for weight distribution or a booster axle to increase hauling capacity, these systems are adaptable to several hauling scenarios.
Specialized lowboy systems are easily adjustable, ideal for variations of oversized equipment such as cranes, excavators, and paving machinery. Use only as many axles as you need to so you reduce maintenance and save money on wear and tear on your tires, brakes, and axles.
Engineered to endure the daily use under pressure, Loadstar’s specialized lowboy systems are designed for durability. With premium construction and quality components, your investment in a specialized lowboy system, with proper maintenance, will provide value for years to come.
For heavy haulers and operators new to Loadstar Trailers or to the world of optimizing heavy load transportation, we hope the following provides you with a clear understanding of load balancing lowboy systems!
You’ve likely seen them on the road and thought, “That’s incredible!” A lowboy by itself is impressive, but when a 9-axle specialized lowboy system is hauling a 90+ ton payload, it’s the kind of sight that makes you want to grab a quick video and post it on Instagram.
A specialized lowboy trailer system is an advanced configuration of a traditional tridem or quad axle lowboy trailer that incorporates additional components to manage extremely heavy and oversized loads. These systems, manual or automated, are custom-engineered to distribute weight more effectively, preventing overloading on any one axle.
Additions include flip neck extensions, jeep dollies, pin-on axles, and booster axles, allowing haulers to legally transport equipment exceeding the capacity of a lowboy on its own. This versatility makes these specialized lowboy systems essential for industries that deal with oversized machinery and heavy loads, providing a reliable solution that ensures compliance.
Specialized lowboy trailer systems are widely used across industries that require the transportation of heavy and oversized loads.
Common applications include:
