Anssems high-loader trailers: the advantages of a raised deck

Alongside the classic multi-purpose trailer, Anssems also offers high-loader models – flatbed trailers with a raised deck above the wheel arches. This body style has its own strengths over low loaders that pay off particularly well for certain use cases.

More load volume at the same overall length

Since a high-loader's deck sits above the wheels rather than lowered between them, more usable area is available at the same overall length. For bulky but not extremely heavy loads like furniture, boxes or garden equipment, that's a noticeable advantage.

Removable side walls for extra flexibility

Models like the HL 2700 or HL 4000 have removable side walls, letting the high-loader switch between an enclosed box-trailer character and an open flatbed as needed – handy if your transport jobs vary from week to week.

When is a low loader the better choice instead?

For transporting heavy, compact machinery with a low centre of gravity, a low loader like the TL 3500 with ramps is often the better choice, since the low loading height makes driving on and off easier and improves stability under heavy load.

Conclusion

A high-loader suits bulky but lighter loads especially well and scores on flexibility through removable side walls. For heavy, compact machinery, a low loader remains the better choice – our range includes both body styles.
