Lease or Rent  Maintenance

Flatbed Trailers

A flatbed trailer has an open deck or flat platform. It has no infrastructure or framework to support walls, a roof, or rear doors. Many options are available but the most common flat platform trailers have a steel chassis with a wooden deck. This trailer type has a simple layout and is popular throughout the road haulage industry. The flatbed trailer’s design is ideal for hauling irregularly shaped and heavy cargo.

Key benefits

Expanded Haulage Possibilities

Flat platform trailers can handle irregular cargo such as passenger aircraft parts or prefabricated buildings, which are not feasible for curtainsider or box trailers.

Flexible Loading and Unloading

With no framework or body panels, the entire bed of a flat platform trailer is accessible, making it one of the simplest trailers to load and unload.

No need for a loading dock

The ability to load from the side, top, or rear saves time and eliminates the need for a loading dock, enhancing operational efficiency.

Lower Maintenance Costs

The absence of walls and doors on flat platform trailers reduces maintenance and repair expenses, leading to cost savings.
