What Is Flatbed Trucking?

Flatbed trucking is a type of transportation service that utilizes flatbed trucks. These trucks are beneficial because they do not have any walls or sides to block the cargo in. Therefore, you can use them to transport odd-shaped cargo or oversized loads. These types of trucks also typically haul constructional steelwork or machinery.

The primary difference between flatbed trucks and enclosed trailers is, of course, that enclosed trailers have walls and a roof while flatbed trucks do not. However, there are a number of other differences between these two worth exploring:

  • Size of cargo: Because flatbed trailers are open, they can handle oversized cargo much better than an enclosed trailer. They not only make it much easier to transport this cargo, but they also make it easier to load and unload it as well.
  • Shape of cargo: Flatbed trailers allow for items of all shapes to be transported. In fact, flatbed trucks are typically used for wide and oddly-shaped cargo because of this.
  • Ease of loading: Cargo that is transported on a flatbed truck is much easier to load and unload because you can utilize any side without worrying about a barrier.

Flatbed Shipping Options

This type of flatbed can haul 48,000 pounds of cargo, and cargo can be loaded on the tip, sides, and rear of the flatbed.
