A bogie for a lowboy trailer includes a pair of longitudinally extending main beams, each having a lower front end configured to be coupled to a lower deck, a higher rear portion configured to carry a suspension system, and a sloped intermediate portion connecting the front end to the rear portion. The bogie also includes multiple transversely extending and longitudinally spaced cross-members connected between the main beams. Each of the cross-members is trough-shaped and has a pair of transversely spaced side sections and a midsection between the side sections, the side sections sloping downwardly toward the midsection such that a top surface of the midsection is lower than respective top surfaces of the main beams. Each side section of at least one cross-member intersects with a respective one of the main beams, such that at least a portion of each side section is located directly below the respective main beam.
