the advantage of a low loader: its ability to transport high loads
TRANSCRIPT
The advantage of a low loader:
Its ability to transport high loads.
The disadvantage of a low loader:
The minimum ground clearance.
The facts:
The smaller the ground clearance, the easier grounded.
The longer the vehicle, the easier grounded.
The more roundabouts, the easier grounded.
The more railway crossings, the easier grounded.
The steeper the inclination, the easier grounded.
The rougher the road conditions, the easier grounded.
The less experienced the driver, the easier grounded.
The heavier the vehicle, the more damage to the vehicle.
Apart from:
Road damageDamage to infrastructureUnpredicted costsUnpredicted delayEtc, etc
The problem is caused by the limited suspension stroke of the trailer:

The problem is caused by the limited suspension stroke of the trailer!
A solution:
…and finally…
The solution:
A crane arm recess,…
…combined with a hydraulic boom.
The problem is solved by temporary extracting the rear
