The new XL Specialized XL 110 Low-Profile HDG has a loaded deck height of just 15 inches.XL Specialized Trailers debuted two new lowboy trailers at the Mid-America Trucking Show this week.
One of the company’s new offerings is the XL Galvanized 80 Mechanical Full-Width Gooseneck. Erin Reiff, marketing manager for XL Specialized, says the company was able to cut weight from the trailer before the hot-dip galvanizing process in order to keep the trailer’s weight as low as possible at approximately 15,600 pounds base weight.
XL Specialized debuted a galvanized lowboy at MATS.The galvanized trailer is suited for lowboy haulers who frequent areas with harsh weather and road conditions and has a lifespan of up to three times longer than standard steel, the company says.
The other trailer debuted at MATS is the new XL 110 Low-Profile Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck, which offers a loaded deck height of just 15 inches, three inches lower than the company’s previous lowboy loaded height.
The trailer’s neck offers a five-position ride height, and based on neck position and load, the deck can be leveled as needed with the adjustable wheel-area ride height. The trailer maintains the same capacity as the 18-inch deck height trailers, Reiff says.
