This Scorpion Hkm3 is a low loader semi-trailer — sometimes referred to as a lowbed or step-frame trailer — designed to transport heavy plant, construction equipment, and oversized machinery that cannot be carried on standard flatbed trailers. The low-loading deck keeps the centre of gravity close to the ground, allowing taller and heavier loads to move within legal height restrictions. Scorpion is a manufacturer of specialist heavy transport trailers serving the construction, civil engineering, and plant hire sectors.
This example is a three-axle machine built in 2024 and finished in red. Despite being listed here on a used-machinery platform, the seller describes it as new and in stock, available for immediate collection in France.
The trailer is equipped with a hydraulic double-acting ramp for loading and unloading, and the ramp features hydraulic width adjustment, allowing it to accommodate equipment of varying track widths. A deck spreader is also fitted. Access to the gooseneck is provided by a dedicated access ramp supplied with the unit. Securing the load is handled by sixteen lashing points distributed across the deck. Lighting throughout is LED.
The axle arrangement is notably flexible: the rear axles are self-steering — with the option to lock them in a fixed position — while the front axles are liftable, enabling the operator to raise them when running unladen to reduce tyre wear and axle stress. All axles are Traxx units. Suspension is pneumatic, and the braking system is supplied by WABCO, a respected name in commercial vehicle braking technology.
The trailer accommodates two tractor coupling points, making it compatible with 4×2, 6×4, and 8×4 tractor units. Delivery within France is available as an option at additional cost.
