Proven Rows of 8 Configurations
TRT supports 2x8, 3x8, and 4x8 Rows of 8 configurations for demanding heavy haul applications. Each build can be specified to suit the load profile, route and operator requirements.
-
ESS Steering Where It Counts
ESS is currently available as an option on selected 3x8 and 4x8 Rows of 8 configurations. It adds manoeuvrability and control where route access, turning space or load movement demands it.
-
Hydraulic Compensating “Live” Gooseneck
TRT's live hydraulic gooseneck automatically compensates for changing terrain, maintaining consistent weight on the tractor units drive axles for improved traction, stability and ride quality. By allowing the trailer to move naturally with the terrain, it reduces shock loads while protecting the trailer, truck and payload.
-
Built Around the Job
From deck design to axle layout, each trailer is configured around the specific application. TRT works with operators to understand what needs to move, where it is going and what the trailer needs to handle.
-
Backed by TRT Support
TRT supports its trailers with parts, service and technical knowledge for the long haul. That means help is available well beyond delivery. Our operators and parts manuals are second to none.
Compare configurations. Choose with confidence.
Rows of 8 are engineered for heavy haul productivity, with configuration choices driven by the load, route and operating environment. For operators comparing options, the key questions are axle layout, steering requirements, deck setup and payload needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is ESS available on all Rows of 8 Low Loaders?
No. ESS is currently available as an option on selected 3x8 and 4x8 configurations.
-
Can Rows of 8 Low Loaders be built with fixed axles?
Yes. Fixed axle, non-steer configurations are available and remain a practical option for many heavy haul applications.
-
What configurations are available?
TRT supports 2x8, 3x8, 4x8 and 5x8 Rows of 8 configurations, depending on the required payload, route and operating conditions.
-
How do I know which configuration I need?
The right setup depends on what you are moving, overall dimensions, route constraints, steering requirements and payload needs. TRT can help work through the best option.
-
Can I increase payload later with a dolly?
In many cases, yes—dolly compatibility can increase payload capability. TRT can help confirm the right configuration for your fleet and operating requirements.
-
What does “Rows of 8” mean?
Rows of 8 describes the trailer’s axle set-up: the first number is the number of axle lines (“rows”), and the “8” refers to eight tyres per axle line (typically four per side).
So a 5x8 has five axle lines and 40 tyres on the ground, which spreads weight more effectively and generally supports higher payload capability, better stability, and improved road compliance.
