Telescopic
I think "grues" could refer to all of the other terms except "chariot élévateur", hence the "ées" in "surbaissées". Therefore, "extensibles" would refer to cranes with an extendable boom, i.e. telescopic.

semi extensible
A "surbaissée" trailor is usually composed of a low flat and what we called " un col de cygne", used for handling f.ex; high packages in order they keep the right authorized dimensions from ground up to the top of the semi trailor.
Just note you can translate or use " extensible" or semi extensible" which are "surbaissées" offering a longest flat and sometimes equiped with a krane. This kind of trailor could be used for "transports exceptionnels" f.ex.
