XL Specialized Trailers Showcases Custom Hydraulic Lowboy at Great American Trucking Show

XL Specialized Trailers showcases a custom hydraulic lowboy in Dallas. This must-see unit was displayed August 22-24 at the Great American Truck Show in Dallas, Texas in booth #14099.

The XL 110 Low-Profile Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck is highly spec’d. The 53’ long, 2-axle unit is rated for 110,000 lbs overall and 100,000 lbs in 16’ concentrated. The flip and booster combo for the rear adds extended versatility for load distribution, as it can make a 3+1 set-up with a spreader bar or both flips can be added to run as a 4 axle.

This trailer features 5 position variable ride height on the 10’ 6” long low-profile gooseneck. The top of the gooseneck has brackets for loading the spreader bar – giving drivers more room on the main and rear deck when the spreader bar is not needed. A 13 HP Honda power unit with dual hydraulics is protected in a toolbox at the base of the neck. The neck also has a 36” flip neck extension for use with a 4-axle truck.

The noteworthy 33’ 6” long main deck features 18” loaded deck height with 6” ground clearance, raised Apitong decking, 9 bent D-rings per side, and heavy-duty removable swingout outriggers. A 7’ long bucket well at the rear with a plate on the bottom combined with the open boom trough in the rear bridge provide ample room for loading an excavator arm without damaging the cylinder.

The 25,000 lb air ride suspension includes manual ride height and a raise and lower valve. Customer-friendly extras round out this unit’s specs; psi tire inflation system with gauge, liquid-filled air gauge, limit chains on all axles, cam covers, auto slack adjusters, battery backup, extra mid-turn lights, and taillight package with amber strobe.
