Advantages of Flatbed Trailer

Versatility

Flatbeds can haul freight that would never fit inside a dry van. They excel at transporting oversized or irregularly shaped items—anything from industrial machinery to oversized steel pipes or prefab building components. Standard dry vans and other types of trailers simply cannot accommodate these loads, making flatbed the go-to solution for freight that exceeds the dimensions of enclosed trailers.

Ease of Loading/Unloading

With no wall or roof obstructing the deck, flatbed trailers enable fast, convenient loading from virtually any angle. Forklifts or cranes can access a flatbed from the sides or above, which is invaluable for freight that can't be forklifted through a rear door.

Increased Load Capacity

Flatbeds often accommodate heavier or bulkier loads in a single trip compared to enclosed trailers. They have higher usable weight and size capacity since there are no fixed walls constraining the cargo.

Types of Flatbed Trailer

Standard Flatbed Trailer: This is the most commonly used type of flatbed trailer, featuring a simple and straightforward design with a flat loading area and no sides or roof.

Step Deck Trailer or Drop Deck Trailer: Drop decks have two upper and lower deck levels to accommodate taller loads that do not exceed the maximum legal height.

Extendable Flatbed Trailer: As the name suggests, these trailers can be extended in length to accommodate unusually long or oversized cargo.

Conestoga Trailer: This type of flatbed trailer has a retractable tarp system, providing protection similar to an enclosed trailer. It is ideal for transporting goods that are sensitive to weather conditions.

Lowboy Trailer (Double Drop Deck): These trailers have a lower deck height, making them suitable for hauling taller items such as heavy machinery.

Removable Gooseneck (RGN) Trailer: These trailers have a detachable front end, allowing for easy loading and unloading of heavy equipment.

Hot Shot Trailer: Short trailers that can be hauled by Class 2 pickup trucks. These trailers are usually 20'-40' and run at a lower cost per mile than standard flatbed trailers.
