Best Construction Trailer Types for Denver Businesses

For Denver businesses involved in the construction industry, having the right equipment is key to working effectively and efficiently. At Transwest, we have many years of experience helping local companies in Denver find trailers to match the needs of their work.

When it comes to construction, there are numerous types of trailers that are used for day-to-day work. From trailers dedicated to hauling equipment to styles designed for transporting materials, there is a trailer type for almost any hauling task a construction team might face. The following guide will walk you through common construction trailer types and their uses on the job.

Lowboy Trailers

Lowboy trailers are a workhorse of the construction industry. Construction requires the use of large equipment that must be hauled from job site to job site. A lowboy trailer is an ideal pick for transporting this equipment due to the build of the deck. While a lowboy looks similar to a flatbed, the deck sits much closer to the ground.

With its lowered deck, a lowboy trailer ensures that height regulations are met. In Colorado, this is important for construction businesses since there are numerous mountain roads where height restrictions become critical. Further information about Colorado’s height restrictions and areas to watch out for when transporting large equipment can be found through the state’s interactive dashboard.

A lowboy is also capable of hauling heavy and wide equipment that would put too much strain on a smaller trailer style. With the right permitting, a lowboy trailer makes it possible to haul oversize loads.

Common Construction Uses

Lowboy trailers are often used in construction for moving equipment from one job site to another. Since much of the equipment used in construction cannot be driven down the highway, a lowboy makes it possible to transport these bulky vehicles as needed.

The following are all commonly hauled by a lowboy trailer in construction:

  • Excavators
  • Bulldozers
  • Trenchers
  • Compactors
  • Telescopic handlers
  • Skid-steers
  • Loaders
  • Pavers
  • Graders
  • Backhoes
  • Forklifts

Flatbed Trailers

While lowboy trailers win the day for transporting cumbersome equipment, the flatbed trailer is still a substantial addition to any construction fleet. Flatbed trailers range from 45 to 53 feet long, making them a great fit for hauling materials.

With their flat deck, it is easy to load and unload a flatbed trailer, adding to efficiency on the job. Additionally, flatbed trailers are designed to handle heavy hauling, backed by trusted manufacturers such as Dorsey.

Common Construction Uses

Flatbed trailers are used in construction to transport materials to and from job sites. Flatbeds come in a variety of sizes with incredible hauling capabilities. This makes them ideal for transporting all of the following:

  • Piping
  • Steel frames
  • Scaffolding
  • Concrete blocks
  • Rebar
  • Fence posts
  • Construction signs and cones
  • Scrap metals
  • Raw materials
  • Lumber

In addition to hauling materials, flatbed trailers work well for hauling smaller equipment. While a lowboy is ideal for the tallest construction vehicles, a flatbed will suffice for equipment with a lower profile.

Dump Trailers

Another common trailer used on many construction sites is a dump trailer. Dump trailers are widely used in the construction industry due to their efficiencies in transporting and unloading bulk amounts of materials.

A dump trailer can be loaded with large quantities of loose materials, job waste, and more. In addition to being able to haul heavy amounts of bulk goods, dump trailers also make it simple to unload these materials at a dump or other location. Dump trailers are usually equipped with a scissor lift that lifts the trailer bed and dumps the contents out of the back of the truck.

Dump trailers often tip the load backward, but there are also dump trailers equipped with side tilts or with bottom openings.

Common Construction Uses

Due to their ability to make dumping a large amount of materials at once simple for the operator, dump trailers have become integral to construction labor. The following are all common uses on the construction site for this trailer type:

  • Bringing building materials to the job site
  • Hauling aggregate to a job site, such as gravel, stone, and recycled concrete
  • Transporting debris and refuse from a construction site to the dump
