Chieftain's semi low loader range represents the core of their commercial trailer offering. Each model is a strong, robust trailer engineered for the daily demands of plant hire, haulage, and construction transport operations. The range starts with the 2-axle semi low loader and extends through 3, 4, and 5-axle configurations to handle progressively heavier payloads.
Chieftain have invested heavily in the research, design, and development of their stepframe low loader platform. The current design combines both strength and low unladen weight, maximising payload capacity within legal gross vehicle weight limits. Chassis construction uses high-tensile steel throughout, delivering the structural integrity required for transporting excavators, dozers, and other heavy plant.
All models feature commercial axles with air suspension and raise/lower valve, WABCO EBS electronic braking systems, spring brakes with automatic slack adjusters, and Keruing hardwood floors. Self-steering rear axles are available on multi-axle configurations, improving manoeuvrability on tight construction sites and urban roads.
The extendable semi low loaders (3-axle and 4-axle) add the ability to handle abnormal indivisible loads, extending to accommodate longer machinery. The commercial flatbed variant provides a versatile platform for general haulage, with gross weights up to 25 tonnes.
Every Chieftain semi low loader is supplied with EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval certification, permitting legal operation across all EU member states. Trailers are shot-blasted and finished in two-pack primer and paint, with full LED lighting and comprehensive safety equipment as standard.
