2 Axle Commercial Drawbar

The Chieftain 2 Axle Commercial Drawbar Low Loader is a heavy-duty, road-compliant transport solution designed for professional operators who need a safe, stable and reliable way to move plant, machinery and equipment. Built for demanding construction, plant hire and commercial transport applications, it combines strong commercial running gear, high-quality materials, practical loading features and a premium finish throughout.

With a gross weight of 19 tonnes, the trailer features a standard 5.5 metre deck with a 1.5 metre beavertail, giving a total deck length of 7 metres. This provides a practical and stable platform for transporting excavators, dumpers, telehandlers, access equipment and other plant machinery while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability.

For operators choosing a commercial drawbar low loader, load security, road stability, braking performance and durability are key priorities. This model is fitted with commercial axles, raise/lower air suspension, two-line air braking with WABCO EBS, load sensing, park and shunt valves, spring brakes and automatic slack adjusters. The raise/lower air suspension helps improve ride quality, load stability and operator control, while also allowing the trailer height to be adjusted when loading, unloading or coupling to different towing vehicles.

Strength is built into the structure of the trailer. High tensile steel side chimes provide added durability along the deck edges, helping the trailer withstand the stresses of repeated loading, heavy machinery movement and daily commercial use. Recessed lashing rings are built into the side chimes and deck, giving operators secure tie-down points while keeping the loading surface cleaner and reducing the risk of snagging when moving machinery on and off the trailer.

The trailer is fitted with a 28mm Keruing hardwood floor, chosen for its strength, durability and resistance to heavy wear. Keruing provides a tough, dependable deck surface for tracked and wheeled machinery, helping to withstand impact, abrasion and regular loading in demanding working environments.

Loading and unloading are made safe and efficient with 900mm wide hydraulic ramps powered by an electric-over-hydraulic power pack. Swing-down support legs beneath the beavertail provide additional stability during loading, particularly when handling heavier plant and equipment.

Practical operator-focused features include a fixed headboard, fully enclosed stainless steel toolbox, two-speed adjustable height jacking leg, spray suppression mudflaps, sideguards, full LED lighting, front and rear outline marker lights, red triangular reflectors, side amber reflectors, rear registration plate holder with light and conspicuity hi-vis tape fitted to the rear and sides. The fully enclosed stainless steel toolbox provides secure, weather-resistant storage for straps, tools and trailer equipment, helping operators keep essential items protected and close to hand.

For long-term protection, the trailer is fully shotblasted prior to painting and finished with ICI 2 pack paint. Shotblasting prepares the steel surface for maximum paint adhesion, while the 2 pack paint finish provides a hard-wearing protective coating designed to resist corrosion, weathering and the demands of regular commercial use.

Built for strength, compliance and day-to-day usability, the Chieftain 2 Axle Commercial Drawbar Low Loader is ideal for operators who require a dependable trailer that can handle regular machinery transport while delivering excellent safety, durability and road performance.
