A flatbed truck is a type of truck which can be either articulated or rigid. As the name suggests, its bodywork is just an entirely flat, level ‘bed’ with no sides or roof. This allows for quick and easy loading of goods, and consequently they are used to transport heavy loads that are not delicate or vulnerable to rain, and also for abnormal loads that require more space than is available on a closed body. In one word all shapes and sizes of goods.
Here a few examples of what can be transported on it:
- Military Machinery
- Tractors and Farm Equipment
- Construction Materials(steel, lumber, pipes, etc.)
- Food products(onion, beverages, etc.)
- Auto-parts
