I have a question regarding what type of trailers these are and what they are made to haul? I have never seen trailers quite like these and yet I saw two of them together yesterday. It looks to me like they carry something round but do these type of trailers have any type of specific name? Thank you in advance.

For carrying wind turbine tower sections. Trailer spreads apart. Gooseneck part or the upright frame connects to diameter of tower. Axles act as a saddle.

.Thats a XL Specialized wind tower dolly very light not stearable as the rear is a tank trailer and sits in thecenter of the load , most towers are 14 ft dia and around 50 tons 80 ft long . Check out the web site a good builder of smaller trailers under 100 tons . Trail king and Aspen have the same type a lot liter than 13 axel . John

Thank you everyone for the information.

Blue barn that picture is perfect! I did not realize the trailer seperated like it does, we don't see very many windmill parts around in this area. But that makes perfect sense. Now I need to figure out where they are going Teeth .

Thanks again everyone!
