Where this family fits

The standard XL 110 HDGS Guardian reference has a 26-foot main deck, a 22-inch deck height and a 110,000-pound concentrated rating over 12 feet. XL also lists 18-inch Guardian and other lower-deck configurations; those are distinct builds.

The low-profile neck provides five front ride-height positions with manual rear adjustment. Reducing deck height also changes the clearance available beneath the trailer, so bring the route, jobsite approach and equipment dimensions into the comparison.

XL buying questions

A few things worth clarifying.

Does every Guardian have an 18-inch deck?

No. XL lists both 22-inch and 18-inch Guardian configurations. The reference table on this page is the 22-inch version. Confirm the exact model drawing and loaded deck height on your quote.

Is this an in-stock trailer or a configuration to discuss?

The specifications describe the manufacturer’s reference configuration. Matching live listings appear separately on this page. If none are listed, ask Western Truck & Trailer about current availability, specifications and order timing.
