What does Low-bed trailer mean in logistics?
Short answer
A trailer with a deck set very low to the ground, used to carry tall or heavy equipment while keeping the overall height within road clearance limits.
Used in India for excavators, cranes, transformers and machinery that would exceed height limits on a flatbed. Loads above legal dimensions still need ODC permissions. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
