A flatbed trailer is a type of truck, or lorry, which consists of a level ‘bed’ affixed to a cab and chassis, with no roof or siding. This facilitates both, easy access for loading and unloading, as well as less restriction in terms of how the load can be arranged. A flatbed trailer is often used for what are termed ‘abnormal’ loads, which cannot be fitted into a trailer with an enclosed body. A flatbed trailer can be of either the articulated or rigid format, depending on manufacturer, and intended purpose.Flatbed trailers
Flatbed trailers are often used to transport large construction machinery which is impervious to the elements and so won’t be compromised by not being covered, as well as large loads such as timber and large-scale piping. Flatbed trailers come in various types, one of which is called a ‘low boy’ trailer, due to the fact that it is extremely close to the ground, and this type is most often utilised for the transportation of large vehicles, such as tractors or excavators, to and from mines, road-works and other construction or earthwork sites. The securing of the load is extremely important when using flatbed trailers, because obviously they are unfettered by sides. The four most common methods for the securing of the load are: Nylon straps; V-Straps, which are nylon straps equipped with metal hooks; basket straps, which are nylon straps configured like webbing, and ratchets, which uses a steel mechanism to secure and tighten nylon strapping.Flatbed trailers for sale
