Use Cases
Commonly used for transporting construction equipment, mining machines and oversized cargo, this lowbed (aka lowboy or gooseneck low-loader) shines where high payload and low deck height are required for safe, legal movement of heavy units. It’s ideal for rental fleets, EPC contractors, and project logistics teams who need customized deck length/width and axle configurations.

FAQ
Q: What is the real payload of the 3-axle 60t lowbed?
A: The nominal rated payload is 60,000 kg, but final legal payload depends on local axle-load regulations and the selected axle tonnage — ZW Group will advise and supply documents to meet your route permits.
Q: Can I change deck length/width or add a detachable gooseneck?
A: Yes — deck length, width and detachable/hydraulic gooseneck options are standard customizations. Provide the machine dimensions and local permit limits and we’ll propose a fit.
Q: Which axle brands and suspension types are available?
A: Common axle brands: BPW / FUWA / CHENLU / FUWA; suspension: mechanical leaf spring standard, air suspension optional for improved ride.
Q: How is the trailer protected against corrosion for export?
A: Standard processes include shot-blast cleaning, primer and high-build industrial paint; additional surface treatments or packing can be specified for harsh environments or sea transport.
Q: What tests are performed before shipment?
A: Static load tests, dimensional checks, brake function tests and inspection of welding & paint are performed; test reports can be provided on request.
Detailed Description
-
Structure & load capacity — The trailer frame uses high-strength steel main beams (typical H≈500 mm section) with layered plate construction for stiffness; that backbone plus reinforced side beams delivers the 60t rated carrying capacity and long service life under concentrated loads. Deck lengths and widths are routinely tailored (13,000–16,500 mm length × ~3,000 mm width as typical builds).
-
Running gear & components — Standard builds use 3 axles (typical 13/16/20T axle options such as BPW/FUWA/Chenlu), 12 tires (e.g. 8.25-20 / 11.00R20), JOST landing gear and kingpin choices (2" / 3.5"), and selectable mechanical or air suspension for client-specific ride/load distribution needs. These options let you prioritize tare weight, road regulations, or ride comfort.
-
Manufacturing, finishing & quality — Platform plate and splice plates are controlled in production (platform thicknesses commonly 4–6 mm based on spec), shot-blasted and industrial-painted for corrosion resistance; each unit undergoes load and static tests before packing (flat-rack / RoRo or container-ready packaging on request). Custom paint, spare tire mounts, foldable hydraulic ramps and detachable goosenecks are common add-ons.
