What does Low Boy mean?

In the shipping context, a low boy is a type of trailer used for transporting heavy and oversized cargo. It is designed with a low profile and a drop-down deck to enable the loading and unloading of goods with ease. The low boy trailer is commonly used to transport heavy machinery and equipment such as construction vehicles, excavators, bulldozers, and other types of heavy cargo. It is ideal for transporting cargo that cannot be loaded onto a standard trailer due to its size, weight, or height.
