Low loader transportation is in demand in Ukraine, particularly because the agricultural sector needs to move large agricultural machinery. This type of transport is also used for road construction and building machinery, industrial equipment, and other oversized or heavy objects.

For each shipment, Neolit specialists select the platform type, plan the route, agree on the loading method, and prepare the securing scheme. The need for permits and escort is determined based on the weight, dimensions, and design of the specific cargo.

Cargo and Machinery for Lowbed Transportation

We arrange lowbed transportation for machinery and equipment that is difficult or impossible to carry in a standard truck body. Open platforms are used to transport:

  • tractors, combine harvesters, and other agricultural machinery;
  • excavators, bulldozers, and road machinery;
  • construction equipment;
  • industrial equipment;
  • large structures and other non-standard objects.

Before selecting the vehicle, we record the exact weight, length, width, and height, as well as the configuration and support points. This information is needed to determine how the cargo should be positioned on the platform.
If the loaded vehicle combination exceeds the permitted limits, the requirements applicable to oversized cargo transport are followed.

Selecting a Lowbed Trailer for the Cargo

To order lowbed transport services, the manager needs the name and specifications of the cargo, its weight and dimensions, the addresses, preferred date, and loading method.
The platform is selected based on its permitted load, working length and height, weight distribution, and support points. We also consider the overall dimensions of the vehicle combination after the machinery has been loaded.

If the main factor is the cargo weight, we also consider the requirements for heavy cargo transport.

Lowbed and Telescopic Trailers

A lowbed platform has a low loading height. This helps reduce the overall height of the vehicle combination and makes it easier to position machinery. Platforms without side walls also make it easier to carry wide objects.

A telescopic platform can be extended, so it is considered for long equipment and structures. Lowbed transport is suitable when the length, weight, and support points of the cargo match the capabilities of the selected platform.

Loading and Securing the Cargo

The loading method depends on the design, weight, and dimensions of the machinery, as well as the equipment available at the site. Before work begins, we agree on the platform position, sequence of operations, and any auxiliary equipment required.

Once the cargo is positioned, we check the weight distribution and determine the securing points. Chains, cables, stops, or other securing elements are used according to a scheme prepared for the specific cargo.

During low loader transport of oversized cargo, the securing system must prevent machinery or equipment from shifting in transit. The condition of the securing elements is checked again before departure.

Route, Permits, and Escort

The route is checked for road width, clearance under bridges and overpasses, junction layout, and other restrictions. Access to the loading and unloading points is also considered separately. The assessment covers the entire route, not only the approaches to the sites.

If the dimensions of the vehicle combination exceed the permitted limits, the required permits are arranged before departure. The need for escort vehicles or other support is determined based on the dimensions, weight, and specific features of the route.

Examples of complex equipment and structural deliveries are available in the Neolit projects section.

Cost of Lowbed Cargo Transport

The cost of lowbed transport is calculated individually. For an initial estimate, please provide:

  • the route and exact addresses;
  • weight;
  • length, width, and height;
  • type and specific features of the machinery or equipment;
  • loading method;
  • preferred vehicle arrival date.

The price of lowbed transport also depends on the selected platform, required permits, escort, and additional equipment. If the cargo parameters are approximate, the estimate will also be preliminary. The final amount is determined once the initial information has been confirmed.

To accelerate the planning process, it is advisable to provide not only the weight and dimensions but also photos of the machinery or equipment. For non-standard cargo, drawings, a support-point diagram, and information on whether the machinery can drive onto the platform independently can also be useful. Complete initial data helps identify possible restrictions during the planning stage and avoid changes immediately before the vehicle is dispatched.

FAQ About Lowbed Cargo Transport

Can damaged or non-self-propelled machinery be transported on a lowbed trailer?

Yes, provided the machinery can be loaded and secured safely on the platform. For non-self-propelled machinery, the loading method and any required auxiliary equipment are determined in advance. The condition of the machinery and the site conditions are also considered.

Can a crane be arranged to load machinery onto a lowbed trailer?

If required, loading and unloading operations involving suitable lifting equipment can be included when arranging transportation. The equipment specifications are determined based on the cargo weight, dimensions, and lifting points. The conditions and timing of the work are agreed before the transport vehicle arrives.

Is machinery or equipment insured during lowbed transport?

Yes, cargo insurance is available for the entire journey. The terms and coverage are set up in advance, before the cargo leaves, and if any paperwork is required, our manager will tell you exactly what to prepare. 

Is cargo tracking available during transportation?

Yes, GPS tracking is available. You choose how and how often you’d like to receive updates when arranging the service, and you’ll get up-to-date information on your shipment’s progress throughout the journey. 

Does Neolit arrange international lowbed transport?

Yes, Neolit arranges deliveries outside Ukraine. The requirements of the countries of origin, transit, and destination are considered during preparation. The timing and list of required documents are determined for each specific route.
