Before confirming this type, actual weight, dimensions, pickup point, delivery point, and permit requirements must be reviewed.
Request this trailer typeWhat is a 16-axle dolly lowbed?
A 16-axle dolly lowbed is the highest configuration available in the AMT Logistics fleet for super-heavy cargo such as bridges, massive industrial elements, and transformers, and it is equipped to carry a long dolly train that spreads weight over extra axles. The hydraulic deck adjusts the loading angle and height, while the axles and dollies spread the load weight over a wide footprint to reduce the load on each axle.
- Adjustable hydraulic deck for a low loading angle
- 16 axles plus a dolly train for wide load spread
- Carries the dolly train and stays stable while moving
- Custom operating plan for every move
- Permit, route, and escort coordination as needed
How many tons can a 16-axle dolly lowbed carry?
The 16-axle dolly lowbed at AMT Logistics can be planned for loads up to 200 tons, but actual capability depends on cargo weight and dimensions, load distribution across the axles and dollies, the route, permits, and an operating study. We therefore use "up to 200 tons after load and route study" and never commit before reviewing the full load data.
- Net cargo weight including attachments
- Element dimensions and center of gravity
- Weight distribution across axles and dollies
- Road capacity and loading/delivery points
What cargo suits this configuration?
This configuration is used when the load goes beyond the range of smaller lowbeds and single dollies, such as large concrete elements, massive industrial elements, tanks, and oil and gas equipment; suitability is confirmed after reviewing weight and dimensions.
- Precast concrete bridges and girders
- Heavy electrical transformers
- Massive tanks and industrial vessels
- Oil and gas project equipment
Why use a dolly train?
A dolly train is a line of small carts used in heavy hauling to add axles or distribute weight for oversized loads such as bridges, heavy machinery, and tanks, allowing the lowbed to spread weight evenly across many axles for stability while moving.
- More axles or better weight distribution
- Built for bridges and heavy equipment
- Even weight spread along the train
- Higher stability while moving
Why use multiple axles?
More axles spread the load weight over a larger footprint, reducing the load on each axle and improving stability during movement. This matters most for loads whose weight concentrates on one point or which exceed traditional ranges.
- Lower load per axle
- Higher stability for long equipment
- More flexibility in load distribution
- Finer control of center of gravity
Requirements for super-heavy moves
Super-heavy loads do not move on quick pricing alone; they need route study, permit review, a custom loading and securing plan, and escort coordination when required, all decided by cargo weight, dimensions, and route.
- Route, bridge, clearance, and access study
- Permit and escort requirement review
- Custom loading and securing plan
- Timing coordination with relevant authorities
Page FAQ
Answers tied to this type
Review the key questions before sending load and route data.
How many tons can a 16-axle dolly lowbed carry?
It can be planned for loads up to 200 tons, but actual capability depends on cargo weight, dimensions, load distribution, dollies, route, permits, and an operating study.
Is there a lowbed that carries 200 tons?
The 16-axle dolly lowbed is our highest configuration and can be planned for loads up to 200 tons after load and route study.
What is the difference between 10-axle and 16-axle dolly lowbeds?
The main difference is axle count and weight distribution; the configuration is chosen by cargo weight, dimensions, axle loading, and route.
Is a dolly lowbed suitable for concrete bridges?
Yes. Bridge girders and precast concrete elements are common loads for this configuration, with selection confirmed after reviewing weight, dimensions, and route.
What data is needed for a super-heavy move?
Confirmed weight, dimensions, center of gravity, lifting plan, pickup site, delivery site, cargo photos, and the required date.
Do super-heavy loads need a permit?
Usually yes. It depends on weight, dimensions, and route; permit and escort requirements are identified after reviewing the load data.
