2026 SCONA 70 ton Five Axle
Description
Built for extreme-duty equipment hauling, the Scona Scissor Neck 70-Ton Lowboy delivers the rugged strength and intelligent engineering required for modern heavy-haul operations. Known across North America for their durability, Scona scissor-neck lowbeds excel in oilfield, pipeline, mining, energy, crane, and civil construction applications where reliability and deck access matter most.
This 5-axle configuration combines a true 70-ton capacity, Scona’s patented scissor-neck loading system, and a purpose-built heavy-haul deck featuring pop-up rollers and a reinforced tail roller — giving operators easier loading, lower equipment stress, and increased flexibility for handling a wide range of machines and components.
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
Crane parts and counterweights
Demolition equipment
Wind energy site support
Wherever the terrain is rough, the loads are heavy, and the work is demanding — Scona shines.
