Choice Lowboy Trailers
Choice's HDG lowboy line is the backbone of the brand — hydraulic-detachable-gooseneck lowboys from 35 to 65 tons, built one at a time in Katy, Texas. This is the series behind the 355NG and 355NG-PRO units Western Truck keeps in stock.
Every Choice lowboy starts with a 4-beam main deck of fully cambered, fabricated 100KSI T1 high-tensile steel, riding on 25,000 lb air-ride suspension with a low-profile, non-ground-bearing detachable gooseneck. The reference 55-ton build carries 110,000 lb overall — full capacity concentrated in 12 feet — on a 26' deck at a 22" loaded height, with removable kingpin settings at 34" and 16" and a five-position ride height.
From that baseline, Choice configures deck length (26' to 34'), capacity, axle count, and hardware around your equipment. Rear decks come prepped for a flip axle or single-axle booster, so the trailer you buy today can legally scale into heavier loads later — see Choice jeeps, boosters, and flip axles.
