One chassis. Infinite configurations.
From 3-axle configurations handling 60 tons to heavy multi-axle platforms exceeding 100 tons, every lowbed is engineered precisely to your load requirements and route constraints.
700 MPa Frame
MC700 high-strength steel delivers 700 MPa minimum yield strength — nearly double standard ST52 steel — enabling significant weight reduction while maintaining superior load capacity.
Precision Axle Control
Hydraulic steering on rear axles dramatically reduces turning radius, enabling navigation through tight construction sites and urban infrastructure with full oversized loads.
Key Features
Every system on this lowbed is chosen for one purpose: moving the heaviest loads with maximum safety and minimum effort.
Hydraulic Steering System
Turn Where Others Cannot.
Hydraulic steering axles provide independent rear-wheel angle control, reducing turning radius dramatically and enabling precise navigation on confined construction sites with full payload.
Tight Site Maneuverability
Hydraulic steering axles reduce turning radius by up to 40% compared to rigid-axle configurations, making previously inaccessible sites viable for heavy transport.
Electronic Steering Control
Operator-controlled electronic management of individual axle steering angles — independent follow steering or manual override for maximum adaptability.
MC700 Steel Construction
Stronger. Lighter. Further.
MC700 delivers nearly double the yield strength of standard structural steel, allowing us to remove material where it is not needed while maintaining a frame that confidently handles 100+ ton loads day after day.
Up to 30% Weight Reduction
Compared to standard ST52 steel construction, MC700 enables significant tare weight reduction — maximising your legal payload on every route.
Precision Weld Quality
MC700 demands and receives qualified welding procedures to EN ISO 15614 — controlled heat input, certified consumables, and full weld inspection throughout production.
Loading System
Fast. Safe. Reliable Loading.
Detachable gooseneck allows front loading of the heaviest machinery. Hydraulic ramp ensures smooth, controlled ascent and descent, minimising loading time and risk.
Detachable Gooseneck
Fully detachable gooseneck enables drive-on front loading of tracked and wheeled machinery — no lifting required, no approach angle limitations.
Hydraulic Loading Ramp
Hydraulic rear ramp adjusts to ground angle for smooth, controlled loading without manual repositioning — reducing load cycle time and operator effort.
Running Gear & Suspension
Air Ride Suspension
Full air suspension across all axles for smooth load transport, road surface compliance, and load levelling during loading operations.
Configurable Axle Count
3-axle to multi-axle configurations available, engineered to the exact legal axle-load requirements of the destination country and route.
Lifting Axle Option
Lift unused axles when running unladen to reduce tyre wear, fuel consumption, and road impact — a standard option on multi-axle configurations.

Material & Engineering FAQs
What is Hardox steel and where is it used in trailers?
Hardox is a wear-resistant steel manufactured by SSAB, specifically designed for applications requiring exceptional abrasion resistance. Grades vary from 400 to 500 HBW.
Technical Details:Typical applications include dump truck bodies and loader buckets. Service life can be 3-5 times longer than conventional steel.
What are the welding requirements for high-strength steels?
High-strength steels require specialized welding procedures to maintain mechanical properties and prevent defects, including preheating for thicknesses > 20mm.
Technical Details:Welding procedures must be qualified according to EN ISO 15614. Heat input typically limited to 0.8-2.5 kJ/mm.
