Lowbed transport for heavy, oversized loads.
Al Tawfiq Group moves heavy, tall and oversized plant on lowbed (low-loader) trailers across NEOM, the Red Sea, Tabuk and the Kingdom. The dropped well keeps loaded height down for clearances, and we arrange the route survey, permits and escorts that abnormal loads require — mobilizing fast from inside the corridor.

Pick a load to place it on the dropped well and see why a lowbed is the rig for it. Illustrative — exact rig, axles, route and permits are confirmed per load.

PERMITS · ESCORTS · ROUTE SURVEY
The move around the move.
An abnormal load is only as good as its route. Before a heavy or oversized move we survey the route for height, width and weight restrictions — low bridges and overheads, tight roundabouts, weak structures and access at both ends — and plan timing around traffic and site windows.
We then prepare and submit the abnormal-load permit applications and arrange escort vehicles where the load’s dimensions or weight require them. For the tallest and heaviest loads, moves can be scheduled for quieter windows and run as an escorted convoy.
On the deck, loads are secured and lashed to standard for road transport, and our crews handle loading and offloading — by rear ramp or, where a lift is needed, with boom-truck lifting from the same group. One team owns the job from survey to signed delivery, so nothing falls between vendors.

| Loading | Rear ramp or crane; secured for road transport |
| Permits & escorts | Arranged for abnormal loads as part of the move |
| Coverage | NEOM, Red Sea, Tabuk, Duba; nationwide and cross-border to Egypt |
| Axles & capacity | Configured and confirmed per load against weight and dimensions |

DECISION GUIDE
Lowbed or flatbed — which do you need?
Not sure which trailer suits your cargo? The quick guide below covers most cases; if in doubt, send the load and we’ll advise.
| If your load is… | Lowbed (TL·01) | Flatbed (TL·02) |
|---|---|---|
| Height | Tall / over standard road height | Within legal loaded height |
| Weight | Very heavy or concentrated point loads | Standard, spread loads |
| Typical cargo | Excavators, dozers, cranes, transformers | Containers, steel, pipe, palletized goods |
| Loading | Rear ramp or crane onto a low deck | Top, side or crane onto a flat deck |
| Permits | Often an abnormal load — permits & escorts | Usually standard, within normal limits |

WHY IT MATTERS
A lowbed isn't just a trailer — it's the permits, the route survey and the escorts that get an abnormal load there legally and on time.

QUERIES
Lowbed questions, answered.
Lowbed (low-loader) trailers carry heavy, tall and oversized loads — excavators, dozers, cranes, transformers and prefab structures. The dropped centre well lowers the loaded height so tall plant clears bridges and overheads.
Yes. The route survey, abnormal-load permits and escort vehicles are arranged as part of the move. Send the weight and dimensions and we plan the route and confirm what's required.
Across NEOM, the Red Sea coast, Tabuk and Duba, with road transport nationwide in Saudi Arabia and cross-border to Egypt. Being corridor-based, we mobilize quickly to NEOM and Red Sea sites.
The cargo type, approximate weight and dimensions (length, width and height), the pickup and destination, and the date. A photo or spec sheet helps. We then confirm the rig, axle configuration, permits and a price.
Yes. Boom-truck lifting (TL·05) can be added to the same contract for loading and offloading where a ramp isn't enough, so one team handles both the lift and the haul.
The trailer and axle configuration are matched to your load's weight and dimensions and confirmed on quotation, so the rig is right for the cargo and the route.
As early as you can for oversized and abnormal loads — the route survey, permits and escorts take time to arrange properly. Share the load and date as soon as they're known and we'll confirm the lead time; urgent moves are handled where the route and permits allow.
Yes, where the load or route calls for it. The largest and tallest loads can be scheduled for quieter windows and run as an escorted convoy to keep the move safe and clear of traffic.
Yes. Road transport from the Kingdom to Egypt is available, with the cross-border movement coordinated under one contract. Tell us the origin, destination and load and we'll confirm what the route requires.
