Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5t6vkm/lowbedheavyhaul) has announced the addition of the "Lowbed/Heavy-Haul Trailer and Oilfield Float Manufacturing in North America" report to their offering.

Lowbed trailers include single drop, double-drop and extendable trailers with fixed necks, detachable goosenecks and folding/scissor-necks. Oilfield floats are a relatively small product segment within the category. These units are characterized by being fitted with pick-up throats, tail rollers, and either folding or no landing gear. Oilfield floats bridge the gap between flatbed and lowbed trailers.

The North American lowbed/heavy-haul trailer industry is highly fragmented, with a large number of small, regionally focused players. The regional manufacturers compete successfully mainly because of product customization and transportation costs. Lowbed trailer manufacturing has relatively low barriers to entry, especially for standardized units.

This research report identifies seventy-three manufacturers of lowbed trailers and oilfield floats in North America in 2012, and has presented estimates of 2012 production/sales in units and at market values, as well as an overview of the broad competitive picture - including standings of key manufacturers -and the demand outlook for the industry through 2017.

These and other topics are the subject of this study. The report can be put to immediate use for sales and market planning, M&A identification, competitive share analysis, alliances and technology transfer considerations.
