Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lowboy trailer?
A lowboy trailer — also called a low-bed, low-loader or double-drop trailer — is a semi-trailer with a deck that sits very low to the ground, with one drop just behind the gooseneck and a second drop ahead of the rear axles. That low deck lets it legally haul tall, heavy and oversized equipment such as excavators, dozers and cranes. Globe builds lowboy trailers to order in the USA from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton, plus extendable models.
What capacities do Globe lowboy trailers come in?
Globe builds lowboy trailers from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton, plus extendable models, in standard, paver-special and beavertail configurations.
Are Globe lowboy trailers built to order?
Yes. Every Globe lowboy trailer is custom-built to order, so deck length, axle setup and swing clearance can be matched to your loads.
Where are Globe lowboy trailers manufactured?
Globe Trailers manufactures all of its lowboy trailers in the USA at its Bradenton, Florida facility.
Does Globe build detachable or removable gooseneck (RGN) lowboys?
Yes. Globe builds hydraulic detachable gooseneck lowboy trailers - also called removable gooseneck or RGN trailers - where the gooseneck detaches so equipment can be driven on at ground level. The configuration is matched to your load at order time.
How do I get a price on a Globe lowboy trailer?
Globe lowboy trailers are build-to-order, so pricing is provided by quote. Request a quote online or call 1-800-800-3484.
What are the dimensions of a Globe lowboy trailer?
Across Globe's lowboy range, deck heights run about 18–24 inches, deck lengths from 18 up to 50 feet on extendable models, and swing clearance from roughly 86 to 126 inches. Every lowboy is built to order, so exact dimensions are matched to your load.
How much does a Globe lowboy trailer haul?
Globe lowboy trailers are rated from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton of payload, with axle setups from a 2-axle-plus-flip up to 3+3+3 for the heaviest concentrated loads. Capacity is matched to your equipment at order time.
How long is a lowboy trailer?
A lowboy trailer's lower deck (the "well") is commonly about 24–29 feet, with overall trailer lengths up to roughly 48–53 feet. Globe builds lowboy decks from 18 feet up to 50 feet on extendable models, so usable deck length is matched to your load at order time.
How tall is a lowboy trailer deck?
Lowboy deck heights typically run 18–24 inches off the ground — low enough to keep tall, heavy equipment under legal height limits. Across Globe's lowboy range, loaded deck heights run about 18–24 inches, set to your load and route.
What is an RGN or removable gooseneck trailer?
An RGN — removable gooseneck, also called a detachable gooseneck — is a lowboy trailer whose front gooseneck detaches and lowers the front of the deck to the ground, so equipment can be driven straight on, then reattaches for transport. Globe builds hydraulic detachable gooseneck (RGN) lowboy trailers to order from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton.
What is the difference between an RGN and a lowboy trailer?
An RGN (removable gooseneck) is a type of lowboy trailer, so the two terms overlap. "Lowboy" describes the low double-drop deck that keeps tall, heavy equipment under legal height limits; "RGN" describes how it loads — the front gooseneck detaches and lowers the deck to the ground so equipment drives straight on, then reattaches for transport. A fixed-neck lowboy instead loads over the rear. Globe builds both fixed and hydraulic detachable gooseneck (RGN) lowboy trailers to order from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton.
What is another name for a lowboy trailer?
A lowboy trailer is also called a low-bed, low-loader or double-drop trailer, because of its low double-drop deck. When the front gooseneck detaches for ground-level loading it is known as a detachable or removable gooseneck (RGN) trailer. Globe builds lowboy trailers — fixed and hydraulic detachable gooseneck (RGN) — to order in the USA from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton, plus extendable models.
Where can I find Globe detachable gooseneck (RGN) lowboy trailers for sale?
Globe builds detachable gooseneck lowboy trailers — also called removable gooseneck or RGN trailers — to order from 35–40 ton up to 60–80 ton, where the gooseneck detaches for ground-level, drive-on loading. To buy, browse in-stock units in the Globe Trailers dealer inventory or call 1-800-800-3484 for a factory-direct quote.
How much weight can a lowboy trailer carry?
It depends on the axle count: a 2-axle lowboy typically carries up to about 40,000 lb, 3-or-more-axle lowboys reach roughly 80,000 lb, and multi-axle heavy-haul builds carry far more. Globe builds lowboy trailers rated from 35-40 ton up to 60-80 ton, with axle setups from a 2-axle-plus-flip up to 3+3+3 matched to your load and route.
How wide is a lowboy trailer?
A standard lowboy deck is about 8.5 feet (102 inches) wide - the legal over-the-road maximum - and can be built wider, up to roughly 10.5 feet, with outriggers for oversized loads. Globe builds its lowboy trailers to legal deck width with outrigger and swing-clearance options matched to your load.
How much does a lowboy trailer cost?
Lowboy trailer pricing depends on capacity (35-40, 50-55 or 60-80 ton), axle configuration, deck length and options such as an extendable deck or detachable gooseneck - so there is no single list price. Globe builds every lowboy to order in the USA and quotes factory-direct: call 1-800-800-3484, or browse in-stock dealer inventory for current for-sale units.
What is a non-ground-bearing detachable gooseneck?
A non-ground-bearing detachable gooseneck is a hydraulic detachable (RGN) neck designed so the deck can be loaded from the front without the neck resting on the ground during the normal detach and reconnect cycle. Globe builds hydraulic detachable gooseneck lowboy trailers to order from 35-40 ton up to 60-80 ton, matched to your tractor's hydraulic setup.
How much does a lowboy trailer weigh?
Empty (tare) weight depends on deck length, axle count, neck style, suspension, ramps, decking and options. As examples, one three-axle 50 ton Globe configuration weighs about 22,700 lb empty and one 30-foot-well build about 24,000 lb, with auxiliary flip axles adding weight. Every Globe lowboy is built to order and ships with unit-specific weight documentation.
Does Globe build double drop trailers for sale?
Yes. A double drop trailer is another name for a lowboy - the deck drops once behind the gooseneck and again ahead of the rear axles, keeping tall equipment under legal height limits. Globe builds double drop (lowboy) trailers to order in the USA from 35-40 ton up to 60-80 ton, in fixed and hydraulic detachable gooseneck (RGN) configurations. To buy, browse in-stock units in the Globe Trailers dealer inventory or call 1-800-800-3484 for a factory-direct quote.
Where can I buy a hydraulic detachable gooseneck lowboy trailer?
Globe builds hydraulic detachable gooseneck (RGN) lowboy trailers for sale - the neck detaches hydraulically, without resting on the ground, so equipment drives on at ground level - in 35-40, 50-55 and 60-80 ton ratings plus extendables. Browse in-stock hydraulic RGN lowboys in the Globe Trailers dealer inventory or call 1-800-800-3484 for a factory-direct quote.
