What moves on a 3-axle lowbed

A low deck height — typically 0.85–1.0 m — keeps tall machines inside the legal travel envelope, while rear ramps let tracked and wheeled plant drive on under their own power. That combination covers most of the construction and oilfield equipment moving around the UAE every day.

  • Excavators and backhoe loaders
  • Wheel loaders, graders and compactors
  • Forklifts and telehandlers
  • Compressors, generators and skid units
  • Site cabins and containerised equipment

Permits, escorts and route planning

UAE rules cap heavy-vehicle combinations at 45, 56 or 65 t GVW depending on configuration, and loads that run over the legal width, height or weight move under permit with escort vehicles on approved routes. We handle the paperwork, timing and route planning as part of the job — tell us the machine and we will tell you what the move needs.

Loading, ramps and rigging support

Our drivers position, load and lash plant daily and work directly with your site team. Where a machine needs to be lifted rather than driven on, we bring cranes and certified riggers and banksmen from our crews — one vendor for the lift and the haul. Dispatch runs from Musaffah across all seven Emirates; send your load details through the quote form or call +971 58 227 4083 for a quote within 2 business hours.

Frequently asked questions

What machines fit on a 3-axle lowbed?

Typical capability is 40–60 t depending on configuration — that covers most excavators, wheel loaders, compactors and mid-weight plant. Send the machine model or its weight and dimensions and we will confirm the right trailer.

When does a lowbed move need a permit or escort?

When the load runs beyond the legal envelope for width, height or gross weight. We arrange the permits and escort vehicles and plan the approved route as part of the move, so approval lead time is built into the schedule from day one.

Do I need a 3-axle or a 4-axle lowbed?

As a rule of thumb, mid-weight plant rides on the 3-axle, while heavier machines and tighter axle-load limits call for the 4-axle. Share your load details and we will match the unit.
