Flatbed

A flatbed truck is a type of vehicle equipped with a flat, open trailer that has no sides or roof, making it ideal for transporting oversized, wide, or irregularly shaped cargo. This design allows for easy loading and unloading from any side, often with cranes or forklifts, and is commonly used for hauling heavy materials such as construction equipment, building materials (like steel beams or lumber), machinery, and large containers.

Flatbeds come in various sizes and configurations, with some featuring extendable trailers or additional axles for carrying extra weight. The open design also means cargo must be securely strapped or tied down to prevent shifting during transport. Flatbed trucks are highly versatile and are widely used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and agriculture. Because of their ability to handle bulky loads that don’t fit inside enclosed trailers, flatbeds are essential for transporting goods that are difficult to load and offload with traditional trucks.
