What XL Specialized Trailers Are Now Available at Tracey Road?
Let’s break down the trailer types now available at Tracey Road Equipment—each offering unique benefits for specific hauling applications:
Detachable Gooseneck Trailers (Lowboys)
Ideal for: Hauling oversized construction equipment, excavators, pavers, and more.
Why it matters:
XL’s detachable gooseneck trailers, like the XL 110 HDG series, feature mechanical or hydraulic necks, a broad range of deck lengths, and an industry-leading approach angle for easier loading of low-clearance equipment.
Key Benefits:
Available in 2-, 3-, or 4-axle configurations
Hydraulic or mechanical gooseneck operation
Deck heights as low as 18″
Front and rear flip axle options
Stronger neck beam capacity for uneven terrain
These lowboys make it easy to haul equipment legally and safely—without sacrificing ground clearance or load security.
Extendable Trailers
Ideal for: Hauling long or irregularly sized loads like steel beams, wind turbine components, or utility poles.
Why it matters:
XL’s Extendable Flat Deck and Extendable Lowboy trailers provide maximum flexibility by expanding the deck to accommodate over-length loads while maintaining structural integrity and compliance.
Key Benefits:
Adjustable deck lengths (extend by up to 72+ feet)
Air or hydraulic systems for smooth operation

When versatility is a must, extendable trailers give you the room you need—only when you need it.
Drop Deck Trailers (Step Decks)

Key Benefits:
Deck heights as low as 32″
Wood or aluminum deck surfaces
High-strength steel framing
Multiple tie-down and load securement options
Extendable drop deck versions available
Drop decks strike a balance between payload capacity and height accommodation, especially in the utility and construction markets.
Slide Axle Trailers
Ideal for: Equipment rental yards, towing operations, and contractors moving wheeled or track machines.
Why it matters:
XL’s Slide Axle Trailers are designed to “load like a rollback,” using a tilt mechanism and sliding axle to create a gentle load angle.

Hydraulic tilting bed and sliding axles
Optional winch for non-powered equipment
Low load angle for safe machine loading
Optional wireless remote control operation
Perfect for moving rental equipment and trucks
Safe, fast, and easy—Slide Axle trailers are one of the most versatile options in XL’s lineup.
Hydraulic Tail Trailers
Ideal for: Paving contractors, rental yards, and operators who load/unload frequently.
Why it matters:
Hydraulic Tail Trailers from XL feature a full-width rear ramp that lifts and lowers using a hydraulic cylinder system—making frequent load cycles much easier.

Full-width ramp lowers to ground for walk-on or drive-on access
Ideal for small-to-mid-sized machines
