What this mod does
Liftable Heavy Transport Axles, by Gdog900, lets you lift the front axles on owned lowbed trailers (Low Bed/Low Loader) and on Special Transport trailers. That way the rig turns better and is easier to handle. It has over 108,000 subscribers.
DLC
You don’t need both DLCs: according to the author, it works with whichever ones you own, whether that’s Heavy Cargo Pack, Special Transport or neither. Owned lowbed trailers are part of the base game.
Modded trailers
It only affects SCS trailers. The author explains that modded trailers have their own definitions, which this mod doesn’t touch, and that supporting them would require their creator’s permission.
Version
The latest file is from April 1, 2023, and the description doesn’t state a version. On April 30, 2026, the author replied in the comments that it works with the latest game version if you use the right trailers. He didn’t give the version number.
Tip
One user recommends taking corners carefully when the axles are lifted. It’s only about 62 KB.
