Though not particular to the film industry, a low loader has an obvious use in film production. Vehicles or people can be placed onto a low loader, whilst cameras are mounted closer to the cab, and lighting fixtures are secured around the subject being filmed. Depending on the angle chosen, it can then appear that the the person or vehicle is travelling at the speed of lorry (or truck) to which the low loader is attached. Hence, it can seem that actors are driving a car, riding a horse, or even potentially running or flying, when in fact they are actually securely attached to a trailer.

- The first low loader trailer was invented in the 1920s and featured a riveted gooseneck and solid rubber tires. Early trailers had removable rear axles to allow loading in the UK. The first detachable gooseneck trailer was invented(patented) in 1958. The low loader trailer comes in several variants, for a wide spectrum of tasks. Some of the variants are:

Low loaders, in one form another, have been used since the earliest days of filmmaking, but weren't particularly used in Doctor Who filming until the 1996 telemovie. Since then, they've been used by the BBC Wales production team on occasion. Doctor Who Confidential featured a segment on the use of low loaders in Nemesis.

* Fixed Gooseneck - which allow a longer deck length and lightest weight of all lowboys.
* Technical Gooseneck - Second longest deck length and weight.
* Hydraulic Detachable Gooseneck - Quickest and easiest to detach but, at the expense of weight and deck length.
