Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lowboy trailer?
A lowboy is a semitrailer with a low main deck between the raised gooseneck and rear axle section. This design reduces the overall height of tall equipment such as excavators, dozers, and cranes.
What capacities do Globe lowboy trailers come in?
Globe lowboys include 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 51-, and 55-ton builds, plus higher-capacity configurations in the 60-80-ton range and extendable models. These are US short tons of payload. The rating for each build depends on its structure and the length over which the load is supported.
Are Globe lowboy trailers built to order?
Yes. Globe builds lowboys to order with deck dimensions, gooseneck design, axle arrangements, and equipment options selected for the load. Completed trailers are also sold through dealers.
Where are Globe lowboy trailers manufactured?
Globe manufactures its lowboy trailers in Bradenton, Florida, USA.
Does Globe build detachable or removable gooseneck (RGN) lowboys?
Yes. Globe builds hydraulic detachable-gooseneck lowboys, also called removable gooseneck or RGN trailers. The neck detaches and the front of the deck lowers to the ground so equipment can be loaded from the front.
How do I get a price on a Globe lowboy trailer?
Request a quote online or call 1-800-800-3484 with your equipment weight, dimensions, and required trailer options. For a trailer already listed in dealer inventory, contact the selling dealer for its current price.
What are the dimensions of a Globe lowboy trailer?
Globe builds different sizes. Examples include a 51-foot trailer with a 24-foot lower deck and a 53-foot-5-inch trailer with a 26-foot lower deck, both 102 inches wide. Standard 55-ton loaded deck heights are 22 inches with 16-inch main beams, 20 inches with 14-inch beams, and 18 inches with 12-inch beams, all with 6 inches of ground clearance. Custom lengths, widths, and extendable decks are available.
How much does a Globe lowboy trailer haul?
Globe lowboys span nominal payload classes of 35 to 80 US short tons, or 70,000 to 160,000 pounds. Use the rating for the particular build and its specified load footprint. Legal road payload also depends on the tractor-trailer combination, axle spacing, route, and permits.
How long is a lowboy trailer?
Examples include a 51-foot overall length with a 24-foot lower deck and a 53-foot-5-inch overall length with a 26-foot lower deck. An extendable configuration provides a 30-foot lower deck that extends to 50 feet. Globe also builds other lengths to suit the load.
How tall is a lowboy trailer deck?
Standard Globe 55-ton lowboys have 6 inches of ground clearance when loaded. Loaded deck height is 22 inches with 16-inch main beams, 20 inches with 14-inch beams, and 18 inches with 12-inch beams. Other capacities and custom configurations can have different deck heights.
What is an RGN or removable gooseneck trailer?
RGN means removable gooseneck. The gooseneck disconnects and the front of the lowboy deck lowers to the ground for front loading. After loading, the gooseneck is reconnected and the deck is raised for transport.
What is the difference between an RGN and a lowboy trailer?
A lowboy has a low main deck between the gooseneck and rear axle section. An RGN is a lowboy with a removable gooseneck that allows front loading. Lowboys with fixed goosenecks use other loading arrangements, such as rear ramps.
What is another name for a lowboy trailer?
Lowboy trailers are also called low-bed, low-loader, or double-drop trailers. A lowboy with a detachable front neck may also be called an RGN, short for removable gooseneck.
Where can I find Globe detachable gooseneck (RGN) lowboy trailers for sale?
Browse Globe dealer inventory for detachable-gooseneck lowboys, or request a factory quote online or at 1-800-800-3484. Contact the selling dealer to confirm availability of a listed unit.
How much weight can a lowboy trailer carry?
Globe lowboys span nominal payload ratings of 35 to 80 US short tons, or 70,000 to 160,000 pounds. Each trailer must carry the load within its specified rating and load footprint. Axle count alone does not determine capacity, and legal road payload depends on the complete combination, route, and permits.
How wide is a lowboy trailer?
A common Globe lowboy deck width is 102 inches, or 8 feet 6 inches. Custom narrower and wider decks are available, and outriggers can support wider equipment on suitably equipped trailers. The trailer and load width determine whether overwidth permits are needed for the route.
How much does a lowboy trailer cost?
There is no single price for every lowboy. Cost depends on capacity, deck dimensions, gooseneck design, axle arrangement, and selected options. Dealer listings show prices when supplied; contact the dealer for a listed unit or request a current factory quote at 1-800-800-3484.
What is a non-ground-bearing detachable gooseneck?
A non-ground-bearing gooseneck uses the fifth wheel of the tractor to support the lifting action instead of pushing a hydraulic foot against the ground. The trailer deck can still rest on the ground while equipment is loaded.
How much does a lowboy trailer weigh?
Empty weight varies by configuration. Documented examples are 24,420 pounds for a GTBN503-51-24-GG 50-ton lowboy and 22,050 pounds for a GTBN553-53-26-HGG 55-ton lowboy. Use the weight recorded for the actual trailer, including any equipment added after manufacture.
Does Globe build double-drop trailers for sale?
Yes. Globe builds double-drop lowboys with a low main deck between raised front and rear sections. Fixed-neck and hydraulic detachable-gooseneck configurations are available through dealer inventory or by factory order.
