Low Loaders are semi-trailers, which are always hired by individuals or companies that engage in construction works to move heavy equipment like bulldozers, industrial equipment etc. from one location to another. A low loader is a very useful trailer in equipment transportation in the construction industry. And if you’re thinking of hiring a low loader in Perak for your construction projects – then think Huge Heavy Machinery.

Low loaders have 2 drops in deck height, unlike other normal trailers; one drop is just before the wheels, while the other drop is positioned after the gooseneck. This makes for the deck of the semi-trailers to be exceedingly low when compared side by side with other normal trailers. The low deck offers the flexibility of carrying loads which is taller in height that other trailers cannot carry. There is another advantage from safety aspect as well due to its lower gravity center which is the major concern for certain good transportation.

You may also request for an escort team to ensure the safe transportation & traffic all the way down to unload location.
