Key Features
From tight jobsite entries to roundabouts, ports, and escorted routes — the difference is control. That is why the STU Low Loader range is built around hydraulic steering axles as the preferred solution.
Hydraulic Steering
Hydraulic Steering. The Standard Expectation.
Hydraulic steering axles improve turning behavior on long combinations, reduce tire scrub and wear, maintain stable tracking in narrow access points, and keep maneuvering predictable under heavy load planning.
Stable Tracking. Narrow Access Points.
Hydraulic steering axles maintain stable tracking in narrow access points — enabling access to roundabouts, tight construction site gates, and port terminals that fixed-axle alternatives cannot navigate.
Reduced Tire Scrub. Predictable Under Load.
Hydraulic turning axles reduce tire scrub and wear across the full journey — and keep maneuvering predictable under heavy load planning, whether on motorway transit or on-site positioning.
Model Families
2-Axle to Modular. Every Project Covered.
The STU Low Loader range covers 2-axle fixed, 2-axle extendable, 3-axle, 4-axle extendable, 5-axle extendable, and modular pendular axle configurations — from 2+4 and 2+5 to 3+5 and other project-defined combinations.
Extendable Configurations
When chassis length becomes flexible, steering must stay controlled — which is why hydraulic steering is the typical configuration on 2-axle, 3-axle, 4-axle, and 5-axle extendable low loaders.
Modular Pendular Axle Configurations
For the most demanding oversized transport projects, STU provides modular configurations such as 2+4, 2+5, 3+5, and other project-defined combinations — using pendular axle lines, hydraulic steering, and hydraulic suspension logic.
Core Build
Selectable Steel. Selectable Axle Brand.
Chassis steel is selectable between S355J2+N and S700MC PLUS (from SSAB Co.). Axle brands are selectable across all projects: TRAX, GIGANT, BPW, SAF — ensuring the right balance of strength, weight, and supplier availability.
Chassis Steel Options
Choose between S355J2+N for proven structural performance or S700MC PLUS (from SSAB Co.) for high-strength applications requiring maximum stiffness at reduced weight.
Axle Brand Selection
Axle brands are selectable on all projects: TRAX, GIGANT, BPW, or SAF — paired with hydraulic steering as the standard expectation across almost all low loader configurations.
Options
Deck & Structure
Hardwood, plywood, or chequered steel floor; side extensions and widening solutions; machine wheel spaces; detachable container twist locks by specification.
Hydraulics & Control
Radio remote control for hydraulic units; hydraulic units on side by design; hydraulic landing gears and hydraulic rear landing gear available by specification.
Lighting, Safety & Protection
LED lighting packages (Aspock, Dasteri, Hella Shapeline); warning plates and safety strobe lights; coatings and painting; galvanization; anti-slip walking paint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a low loader trailer used for?
A low loader trailer is used to transport heavy and oversized machinery where very low deck height and stable road behavior are required — construction equipment, industrial machines, and project cargo.
Do low loader trailers usually need hydraulic steering axles?
Yes. In most low loader configurations, hydraulic steering axles are the standard expectation for predictable turning behavior and reduced tire scrub.
Is hydraulic steering mandatory on a 2-axle fixed low loader?
It is not mandatory in this one configuration, but most customers still prefer hydraulic steering for easier maneuvering and reduced tire wear.
Do you offer extendable low loader trailers?
Yes. Extendable configurations are available and typically paired with hydraulic steering for controlled handling.
Do you build modular pendular axle low loaders (2+4, 2+5, 3+5)?
Yes. Modular pendular axle configurations are available by project specification, depending on route and cargo requirements.
Can I choose the axle brand?
Yes. Axle brands are selectable on all projects: TRAX, GIGANT, BPW, SAF.
