Load King Trailers For Sale

Load King trailers are best known in the heavy haul market for lowboy configurations built to move excavators, dozers, cranes, and other tall or concentrated loads that need low deck height and serious structural capacity. In this category, buyers will most often be comparing 50 ton, 55 ton, and 60 ton Load King lowboy trailers, with common setups including tri axle and quad axle suspensions, detachable goosenecks, and deck widths around 102 to 108 inches. If your freight mix includes construction equipment, aggregate support machinery, or municipal equipment, a Load King lowboy is typically evaluated on well length, loaded deck height, axle grouping, and neck style before anything else.

The first decision is usually hydraulic detachable neck versus mechanical detachable neck. A hydraulic detachable neck, often called an RGN-style setup by some buyers even when spec language varies, speeds up loading and unloading and is better suited to frequent equipment moves. Mechanical detach models can still make sense for fleets that want a simpler trailer with fewer hydraulic components to maintain. On Load King heavy haul trailers, common features include front flip ramps, bucket wells, boom troughs, swing-out outriggers, chain slots, bent D-rings, and load-bearing fender covers. Deck construction is usually steel with wood or Apitong decking, and suspension specs often include air ride with lift axle options or adjustable ride height for dock, ramp, and terrain changes.

Capacity numbers only tell part of the story. A buyer should also look closely at deck length, well length, bridge dimensions, kingpin settings, axle rating, and compatibility with flip axles or spreader bars. Many Load King lowboys in this class are set up with 24 to 26 foot wells, loaded deck heights around 20 to 21 inches, and 27,500 lb axles on air ride suspension. Tire sizes such as 255/70R22.5 and 275/70R22.5 are common, along with steel inner and aluminum outer wheel combinations. For jobs that cross multiple states, bridge law compliance and the ability to add a fourth axle or flip axle can be more important than raw ton rating. A spreader bar setup can also matter if you are trying to distribute weight correctly for permitting and route planning.

Condition and spec match matter more than model year alone. On a used Load King trailer, inspect the neck connection points, crossmember integrity, deck wear, suspension condition, axle alignment, and signs of concentrated stress around outriggers, boom wells, and rear bridge sections. On newer units, pay attention to spec details such as PTO hookups versus pony motor, toolbox and tool tray layout, lighting, scale systems, and the availability of air and electric for future axle additions. Load King trailers have a strong presence in construction and specialized hauling because the brand is commonly configured for real equipment work, not just nominal capacity on paper. The right trailer is the one whose neck, well, axle package, and legal load strategy fit your freight lanes and permitting requirements.
