What to compare
A deck that fits the machine
BWS lists seven-position deck-height adjustment and deck-height options within its heavy-haul range. Confirm the selected build’s loaded height, clearances and load rating.
Room for the equipment profile
A full-length boomwell and lowered rear bolsters are family features. Discuss bucket position, track width and how the machine’s weight sits on the deck.
Plan the full combination
Gooseneck pin settings, neck extensions and flip-axle provisions affect the specification. Confirm compatibility and ratings for the complete truck-and-trailer setup.
Selected model references

BWS’s 55HDG3X entry lists 102 in. overall width, three 25,000 lb axles and 1¾ in. apitong outside the main beams. Axle ratings are component ratings, not a legal payload calculation.
Manufacturer reference ranges and models. Confirm current specifications, ratings and options on the quoted build. Published ratings do not establish legal payload.
