A military lowbed trailer is a type of specialized transport vehicle used by the military to move heavy and oversized equipment, such as tanks, artillery, military vehicles, and other large military hardware. Armatech can produce 2 to 10 axle models with capacities ranging from 20 to 120 tons, with various specifications according to customer demand for these industrial areas. Here are the main usage areas for lowbed semi-trailers:
Heavy Load Capacity: These trailers are designed to handle very heavy loads, often in the range of several tons. The design is robust and reinforced to withstand the weight of military vehicles and other oversized equipment.
Multi-Axle Configuration: Military lowbed trailers often have multiple axles to distribute the weight of the load evenly, which helps prevent overloading the wheels and ensures stability while transporting heavy items.
Military-Specific Design: These trailers are designed to meet the specific needs of the military, including rugged construction for off-road travel, enhanced durability to withstand tough environments, and sometimes the ability to be towed by military vehicles such as trucks or tractors.
