Montracon Machinery Carriers – Strength, Stability and Safety for Heavy-Duty Haulage

When it comes to transporting heavy equipment and plant machinery, Montracon Machinery Carriers lead the way in reliability and build quality. Also known as Machine Transporters, Plant Carriers, Lowloaders, or Heavy Equipment Trailers, these trailers are purpose-built to move your most valuable and demanding loads with confidence.

Designed for strength, stability and ease of operation, Montracon Machinery Carriers are the go-to solution for industries that depend on safe, efficient heavy equipment transport – Innovative Design for Practical Operation.

Engineered for Heavy-Duty Performance

Every Montracon Machinery Carrier is built to withstand the toughest conditions. Featuring a robust drop-frame or step-frame construction, these trailers are designed to carry heavy machinery such as excavators, tractors, bulldozers, and other large plant equipment.

The lower deck height, typically around 0.95 metres, allows tall loads to be carried without exceeding legal transport height limits. This combination of a low running height and high structural integrity ensures maximum load stability and clearance during road transport.

The Key Benefits of Montracon Machinery Carriers

1. Built for Heavy Equipment Haulage

Montracon Machinery Carriers are purpose-built for moving plant, agricultural, and industrial machinery. Typical loads include excavators, JCBs, telehandlers, tractors, access platforms, and crushers. Each trailer is engineered for strength and durability, ensuring dependable service across construction, agriculture, and infrastructure industries.

2. Flexible and Versatile Design

Montracon offers configurations to suit a wide range of operations. The combination of lower deck height, ramp systems, and adaptable load securing options makes these trailers suitable for varied cargo and terrain types.

3. Easy Loading and Accessibility

Integrated ramps, flatbed decks, and optional hydraulic systems make loading straightforward, even for large or awkward machinery. Cranes, winches, or onboard hydraulic systems can be used for added convenience, reducing manual handling and improving safety on-site.

4. Enhanced Safety and Load Security

Safety is built into every Montracon Machine Carrier. The trailers include strong tie-down points, side restraints, and anti-slip deck finishes to ensure equipment remains secure during transit. Optional extras can be included for even greater control.

• Construction – Excavators, bulldozers, rollers, and plant machinery
  
  
• Agriculture – Tractors, harvesters, and farm equipment
  
  
• Infrastructure & Utilities – Power units, drilling rigs, and heavy maintenance vehicles
  
  
• Transport & Recovery – Road repair and breakdown services
  
  

Whatever your industry, Montracon trailers provide the versatility, safety, and strength you need to move heavy equipment with confidence.

Lowloader vs Plant Carrier – Understanding the Difference

While the terms Lowloader, Plant Carrier, and Machinery Trailer are often used interchangeably, there are technical distinctions.

• Plant Carrier/Machinery Trailer:
  A drop or step-frame trailer with ramps, typically featuring a single lower deck height. These trailers are ideal for general machinery transport.
  
  
• Lowloader:
  A trailer with three distinct deck heights – the upper deck, a low central load deck, and a raised rear deck above the wheels. Designed for extra-tall or heavy equipment where additional clearance is required.
  
  

Montracon offers both configurations, ensuring that whatever your transport requirements, there’s a trailer built to suit.

Flexibility and Practicality Combined

Montracon’s Machinery Carriers are renowned for their exceptional build quality and practical design. Each trailer is developed with input from experienced operators to ensure real-world usability and lasting performance.
