Hydraulic Steering Lowbed Trailer
60-100+ Tons | Precision Steering for Heavy Loads
STU Lowbed Trailers with hydraulic steering axles deliver active turning control for heavy equipment transport — excavators, dozers, loaders, graders, and agricultural machines. Hydraulic steering axles can be applied to any lowbed axle family (3/4/5/6) on request, especially when turning radius is critical, tire scrub reduction is a priority, or the trailer is frequently used in challenging route geometry.

Hydraulic Steering
Active Hydraulic Control
Full active steering control on designated axles — slashes turning radius for tight construction sites, port terminals, and narrow roads.
Reduced Tire Scrub
Active axle geometry reduces lateral tire scrub, extending tire life and improving stability under heavy loads.
Challenging Route Geometry
Preferred when the trailer is frequently used in tight yards, roundabouts, or narrow access points where passive self-steering is insufficient.
Active vs. Passive Steering
Hydraulic steering provides active steering control over passive self-steering behavior — the customer's preferred choice for demanding operations.
Axle Families
3-Axle Hydraulic Steering Lowbed
A balanced configuration for daily heavy equipment transport with active steering control. Width 2550/2750 mm, hydraulic or foldable ramps, air or mechanical suspension.
4-Axle Hydraulic Steering Lowbed
More axle footprint for demanding routes and higher stability needs — with full hydraulic steering capability on request.
5-Axle Hydraulic Steering Lowbed
Designed for heavy-duty cycles and higher axle-count compliance targets, with hydraulic steering for confident maneuvering.
6-Axle Hydraulic Steering Lowbed
Maximum axle footprint for route-restricted projects — hydraulic steering enables precise control even at full axle count.
