Felling's narrow neck semi-trailers offer payload capacities ranging from 35 to 50 tons (32 to 45 t). The trailers have 16-in. (40.6 cm) structural steel H-beams, 10-in. (25 cm) structural channel side rails, and 6-in. (15 cm) I-beam crossmembers.
There are a multitude of options available to customize the trailers, which are ideal for hauling a wide range of heavy industrial construction equipment such as motorgraders, loaders, dozers and crawlers.
The narrow neck models can be built one of two ways, the first is with a narrow neck and open wheels with loading bearing bolsters. The second way is with optional motor grader ramps and a floor plate over the wheels with grouser bars, which increases usable deck space. The overall deck length ranges from 34 to 53 ft. (10 to 16 m) with a 3 ft. (.9 m) beavertail.

• 25,000 lb. (11,340 kg) oil bath axles
