Drop Deck Trailers For Hauling Heavy Equipment

Alot of people ask me what the difference is between a drop deck trailer and a lowboy trailer for hauling heavy equipment. Well if you go to my website you will see a low boy trailer right there on the front page that also qualifies as a drop deck because the front of it sets up on the fifth wheel of the semi it attaches to. Some would beg to differ and say that is not a drop deck but I say it is. You can also see even more lowboy trailers by going to my used heavy equipment site and clicking on lowboy trailers on the right hand side at the top of the front page.
I have seen some people use flatbed trailers to haul equipment but that is the type of equipment that doesn't sit up very high. Most things like loaders, backhoes and dozers need to be hauled on the back of a lowboy.

Get Down and Dirty With a Backhoe

I haven't met a farmer or land owner yet that doesn't wish for a backhoe. They are so versatile and multi-purpose. You can push dirt around with the backhoe blade, pick it up and dump it into a dump truck and then pickup scoops of dirt with the hoe part. You can dig ponds and ditches. I could go on and on about the myriad of uses for a backhoe versus getting a dozer and loader separately. A Backhoe is an all purpose machine and would be the 1st peice of heavy equipment I would ever get and the 2nd most important being the dump truck. You can put a lowboy trailer onto the back of a dump truck and use it to pull your backhoe. Anyone with a rig like that would be the envy of their redneck neighborhood. So keep your eye out for the backhoe of your dreams, no matter how dirty and ugly it is when you go to look at it remember it can always be cleaned up. If it's still running - it's worth lookin into. Yes you may end up having to replace some hydraulic hoses but you would have to do that with just about any machine sooner or later.

Cheap Semi Trucks and Lowboy Trailers

I recently added a 1971 Ford Semi Day Cab with a Lowboy Trailer for only $3500
to my used heavy equipment website. It has a 20 ton winch that pulls the Hyster Lowboy trailer up and onto the roller and comes with boom for pulling equipment, the lowboy trailer even has its own ramps. The truck doesn't run but out of the whole asking price we are only wanting $500 for the truck. You won't find a lower price on a lowboy trailer of that size anywhere.
There is also a 1986 Freightliner Semi Day Cab w with a 350 Cummins Diesel engine for only - $2995 OBO - Yes it does run and would make a great work truck that you could use with the above mentioned lowboy.
No matter what you are looking for I am sure you can find it on my used heavy equipment site.
