What is a Flatbed Trailer?

Flatbed trailers are often used for long-distance hauling jobs because they can carry larger loads than other types of trailers, such as box vans or refrigerated trucks. They are also generally easier to load due to their open bedsides, which make it easier to securely stack items onto them without having to worry about shaping them around walls or corners like would need to be done in a box van. Additionally, these trailers are more robust and able to withstand heavier loads than other models, making them ideal for transporting construction materials such as sand, gravel, cement bags, large vehicle parts such as engines, boats, cars, and tractors from one location to another safely over long distances without fear of damage due to bumps along the way.

When Should You Use a Flatbed Trailer?

Flatbeds are also well suited for shorter-distance transportation jobs where wider loads need transporting without any interruption in between, such as when delivering construction supplies directly to sites quickly or moving harvests away from fields during harvest season due to their ability to easily hold vast stacks of produce thanks to adjustable bed heights on many models. Other uses include deliveries involving oddly shaped items that don’t fit into traditional van boxes, such as furniture pieces where being able to tie down these objects securely is vital while not damaging them in transit through sharp turns or sudden stops along the way, which could potentially happen if trying to transport them in an enclosed van cab instead.
