Landoll vs Lowboy vs RGN: Which Trailer for Heavy Equipment Hauling?
Choosing the wrong trailer for heavy equipment can damage the machine, delay the job, or create an unsafe load. Atlanta contractors and industrial operators move excavators, bulldozers, loaders, and paving equipment every day. Understanding Landoll, lowboy, and RGN trailers helps you schedule the right transport from the start.
Landoll Trailers for Low-Clearance Loads
A Landoll trailer has a hydraulic tilting deck that lowers to the ground, letting equipment with very low ground clearance load without steep ramps. They are ideal for aerial lifts, pavers, rollers, and machinery with limited approach angles.
Landoll units also excel for disabled medium-duty trucks and equipment that cannot climb a standard trailer ramp.
- Hydraulic tilt deck
- Very low load angle
- Ideal for pavers, rollers, and aerial lifts
- Great for disabled medium-duty vehicles
Lowboy Trailers for Standard Heavy Equipment
A lowboy keeps the deck close to the ground, which lowers the overall load height and allows taller equipment to clear bridges and overpasses. They work well for excavators, bulldozers, and wheel loaders on routine construction moves.
Lowboys are a practical balance of cost, capacity, and legal clearances for most Atlanta metro heavy equipment transport jobs.
RGN Trailers for Oversize and Extreme Loads
RGN stands for removable gooseneck. The front detaches to create a drive-on ramp, which is essential for very large, tall, or heavy machines. RGN trailers handle oversized mining, agricultural, and industrial equipment that exceeds normal deck clearances.
Oversize moves often require route planning, permits, and escorts. Tell dispatch the machine dimensions and weight up front so we configure the correct trailer and permits.
