XL Specialized Trailers’ recently introduced XL 120 hydraulic detachable gooseneck (HDG) 3+2 trailer boasts a 120,000-pounds-in-10-feet concentrated capacity rating and a 18-inch deck height.

The 53-foot XL 120 HDG trailer features different configuration options, including a 3+2 or 4+1 setup or, by removing the power booster, allow fleets to run three, four, or five axles in a row. A modular deck connection allows for the addition of deck sections or swapping out deck designs and permitting for shimming when needed.

“The ability to adapt to the user’s equipment makes this a very versatile unit for transportation,” said Tom Hiatt, director of sales at XL Specialized Trailers. “The 18-inch loaded deck height on a 120 hydraulic lowboy is a major benefit for those moving taller equipment.”

The 13-foot low-profile hydraulic gooseneck has a swing clearance of 107 inches and 36-inch flip neck extension. The neck also offers a five-position ride height. The main deck possesses seven bent d-rings along with 13 chain drops per side. The rear deck is 14 feet long with a 41-inch loaded deck height.

The power booster on the XL 120 uses hydraulic pressure, accompanied by a nitrogen accumulator, to transfer weight from the trailer, while allowing the booster to be flexible for uneven terrain.
