What does Semi-low-bed trailer mean in logistics?

Short answer

A trailer with a deck lower than a standard flatbed but higher than a full low-bed, balancing loading height against ground clearance.

Used in India for machinery, construction equipment and moderately tall loads where a full low-bed is not needed. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
