Rental Fleet

Lowboy Trailer Rentals

Yes — Western rents lowboys, not just sells them, so when a job needs a heavy-haul trailer for a week or a season you don't have to buy one to move the iron. Our rental fleet includes lowboys for hauling excavators, dozers, and other tall, heavy equipment, and you can see what's available right now on our live lowboy rental inventory. Need it longer term, or doing the math on rent vs. own? We'll walk you through both.

The Fleet

What's in the lowboy rental fleet

Our lowboy rentals are built for the same work our sales units are: hauling heavy, over-height equipment low enough to stay legal. Depending on availability, that means detachable-neck (RGN) and fixed-neck lowboys sized for the common heavy-haul capacity classes. Rental stock moves, so the live inventory is the source of truth — browse the lowboy rental fleet for current units, or tell us the machine you're moving and we'll match a trailer to it.

The Math

Rent or buy? The honest math

Rent when the need is short or seasonal; buy when the trailer will earn every month — and we'll tell you honestly which side of that line your job falls on. A rental keeps a one-off or a bridge job off your balance sheet. If a lowboy is going to run all season, buying (often financed at $0 down for qualified buyers, terms to six years, seasonal skip payments) usually beats stacking rental weeks. Because we do both, the recommendation isn't tied to moving a sale — it's tied to what pencils out for your operation. If ownership looks right, start at lowboy trailers for sale.

The Loads

What you can haul

A lowboy's recessed well keeps tall, heavy equipment under legal height, so rental lowboys move the same loads the owned ones do: excavators, dozers, motor graders, cranes, pavers, and large industrial or ag equipment. If the machine tops about 10'2" on a flatbed, a lowboy is the rental you want. Not sure whether a lowboy or a step deck fits your load? Read lowboy vs. step deck.

The Process

How renting works

Tell us the machine, the dates, and where you're running. We confirm an available lowboy from the fleet, quote the rental, and line up the paperwork — with the same parts and service backing (out of Salt Lake and Vegas) that stands behind our sales units. Delivery and transport can be arranged. Request a rental quote or call and we'll get you a trailer.

Coverage

Service areas

Western runs four yards — Salt Lake City, UT; North Las Vegas, NV; Belgrade, MT; and Atlanta, TX — and customers haul with us across the surrounding states. Rental availability varies by fleet and location; tell us where the job is and we'll sort out the nearest available lowboy and transport.

Lowboy Rental FAQ

Common Lowboy Rental Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most about renting a lowboy trailer.

Yes. Western Truck & Trailer rents lowboys as well as selling them. The rental fleet includes heavy-haul lowboys for moving tall, over-height equipment; current availability is on our live lowboy rental inventory, and our team will match a trailer to the machine you're hauling.

Rent for short-term or seasonal needs and one-off jobs; buy when a lowboy will earn regularly — ownership (often financed at $0 down for qualified buyers with terms to six years) usually beats stacking rental weeks over a full season. Because Western both rents and sells, we'll give you the honest call for your operation rather than pushing a sale.

The same heavy, over-height equipment our sales lowboys carry — excavators, dozers, graders, cranes, pavers, and large industrial machines. A lowboy's low, recessed deck keeps tall loads under legal height, which is why it's the rental of choice when a load tops about 10'2" on a flat deck.
