This used King low loader semi trailer — sometimes called a lowbed or step-deck trailer — is a three-axle semi-trailer designed to transport heavy and oversized loads at a low ride height, keeping the centre of gravity as close to the ground as possible and maximising clearance for tall cargo. King is a well-established British manufacturer of specialist semi-trailers, recognised across the construction, plant hire, and heavy haulage industries for producing robust low loaders and abnormal load transport equipment.
The trailer carries a standard gross weight rating of 44,000 kg, making it well suited to heavy plant, machinery, and construction equipment. The load bed sits just 90 cm above ground level, spanning 930 cm in length and 255 cm in width, providing a generous and low platform for wheeled and tracked machinery. A gooseneck of 415 cm extends the total trailer length to 1,360 cm, with the gooseneck itself rising to a height of 150 cm and the kingpin height measured at 120 cm. The 2-inch kingpin coupling plate is standard specification for heavy haulage fifth-wheel connections. Shipment dimensions are recorded at 1,360 × 255 × 282 cm.
Loading is facilitated by a set of hydraulic ramps, each measuring 350 cm in length, configured as two-piece driving plates — a practical arrangement that allows self-propelled machinery to drive on and off the bed under its own power. The hydraulic actuation removes the need for manual positioning, speeding up loading and unloading on site.
The running gear comprises three Gigant brand axles fitted with dual tyres in size 235/75 R17.5. Braking is handled by drum brakes, and the trailer is equipped with ABS as standard. Air suspension is fitted across all three axles, helping to protect sensitive loads and providing a degree of ride height adjustment. A winch with a rated pulling capacity of 7,938 kg is also included, useful for recovering or positioning machinery onto the bed that cannot be driven or pushed independently.
Tyre tread depths vary by position: the outer tyres on axle one show 15% (left) and 40% (right); axle two reads 60% on both sides; axle three shows 15% (left) and 30% (right), giving an indication of the trailer's current wear profile. The trailer is registered under number C350356 and carries serial number SKMGTSZ44DKT11512. It is located in the Netherlands and is offered for sale at €29,000.
