This Nooteboom is a used low loader semi-trailer — sometimes referred to as a lowbed or step-deck trailer — designed for the transport of heavy plant and equipment where low centre-of-gravity loading is essential. Nooteboom is a well-established Dutch manufacturer with a long history of producing specialist heavy-haulage semi-trailers and modular transport solutions for the construction, civil engineering, and abnormal-load sectors.
The trailer is configured with four hydraulically steered axles, allowing the rear of the trailer to follow articulated or tight routes that would be impassable with fixed axles. Full hydraulic suspension across all axles enables continuous load redistribution, improving both ride quality and weight spread over the axle group — an important consideration when hauling oversized or sensitive plant.
A notable feature of this trailer is its hydraulically extendable deck, which can be widened independently on the left side and on the right side. This asymmetric extension capability gives operators flexibility when accommodating loads with irregular or offset profiles. The loading ramps are likewise hydraulically operated, extending and sliding outward in width to match the deployed deck width, reducing setup time and manual handling on site.
All hydraulic functions — deck widening, ramp deployment, axle steering, and suspension — are managed by a self-contained autonomous hydraulic power unit mounted on the trailer itself, meaning no external hydraulic supply from a tractor unit is required for these operations. The trailer is also built in an extendable configuration with an intermediate cross-member, further increasing the range of load lengths that can be accommodated.
