Scona Scissor Neck 70-Ton Lowboy – 5 Axle with Tail Roller & Pop-Up Rollers

A True Scissor-Neck Advantage

Scona’s scissor-neck design is renowned for its simplicity, strength, and ability to load heavy equipment even on uneven or soft terrain. Unlike traditional detachable-neck systems that rely on ground-bearing pads, the scissor neck lifts cleanly, stays stable, and allows smooth re-connection — even under heavy loads.

Key Benefits of the Scona Scissor Neck

• Self-supporting mechanics for stable loading/unloading

• Fast hookup times with minimal ground contact

• Ideal for rough, oilfield, or remote jobsite conditions

• Exceptional neck strength for high tongue weights

• Better frame alignment when reconnecting the neck

Operators praise scissor-neck Scona trailers for their reduced downtime, lower maintenance costs, and reliability in challenging environments.

70-Ton Rated — Built to Move Serious Iron

This trailer is engineered for true 70-ton concentrated loads, giving operators the ability to move:

• Large excavators

• Dozers (D8–D10 class)

• Crushers, screeners, and material handlers

• Pipeline equipment

• Rig components & pump packages

• Crane pieces & counterweights

• Industrial machinery

• Oversized tracked equipment

Heavy-haul contractors prefer Scona because its Canadian-built frames and oversized structural members are designed for long-term abuse under the harshest conditions.

5-Axle Heavy Haul Configuration

The 5-axle setup offers the flexibility and load distribution needed for moving overweight, overdimensional equipment across state lines and varying weight regulations.

Typical advantages include:

• Increased permitted capacity

• Better load spreading for multi-state routing

• Reduced stress on main beams and suspension

• Higher resale value due to expanded hauling capability

Combined with the 70-ton rating, this configuration becomes a versatile solution that can cover a wide variety of heavy-haul missions.

Pop-Up Rollers & Tail Roller — Built for Efficient Loading

This trailer comes equipped with two high-value features rarely found on standard lowboys:

Pop-Up Rollers

Designed into the deck to assist with:

• Loading low-clearance tracked machines

• Sliding heavy components

• Reducing deck surface wear

• Lowering friction when positioning large equipment

These rollers “pop up” when engaged and drop flush when not in use — maintaining a smooth deck profile.

Heavy-Duty Tail Roller

A reinforced tail roller is built into the rear frame to:

• Reduce drag when loading long-wheelbase equipment

• Prevent gouging or scraping heavy machine components

• Allow smoother transitions during winch-assisted loading

• Extend the deck and ramp longevity

Together, these features significantly reduce operator effort and machine strain during loading.

Engineered for Strength, Reliability, and Real-World Hauls

Scona trailers are built with oversized beams, high-tensile steel, and premium North American components. Typical build advantages include:

• Deep I-beam main frame designed for extreme loads

• Reinforced neck pivot points with oversized bushings and pins

• Crossmembers designed for heavy tracked equipment

• Industry-proven suspension systems

• High-capacity axles and hubs

• Premium air/electrical system routing

• Structural enhancements for oilfield and off-highway use

Scona’s heavy-haul platforms are respected for their ability to stay straight, resist torsional twisting, and maintain alignment over years of punishing service.

Ideal Hauling Applications

This 70-ton scissor-neck lowboy is perfect for:

• Oilfield rig mobilization

• Pipeline equipment transport

• Mining and aggregate machinery

• Heavy civil and infrastructure projects

• Oversize industrial components

• Wind energy site support

Wherever the terrain is rough, the loads are heavy, and the work is demanding — Scona shines.
