These trailers are highly versatile which is why they are on the road so often. From steel coils to construction material, flatbed trailers can carry a maximum of 48,000 pounds. The lengths vary as follows: 24 feet, 40 feet, 45 feet, 48 feet, and 53 feet, the most common being the 48 feet flatbed trailer. Flatbed trailers height from the ground typically is 60 inches total, which would be considered dock high in many cases. Since the deck is flat and open, the cargo may require tarps to protect it from the outer elements. Tarps range from the standard 4 foot to 8 footers. Different loads require different tarps.

Request a flatbed shipping quote Flatbed shipping definition Flatbed shipping is transportation for cargo that may not require the enclosure of a dry van, cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles. Benefits of flatbed shipping Flatbed shipping provides some dimensional flexibility for large freight since there are no physical walls. Where dry van trailers are loaded from the rear, flatbed trucks can be loaded from either side, as well as the top and back. Flatbed equipment includes step decks, double drops and RGNs Licensed, Bonded and Insured Titan Worldwide is a fully licensed, bonded and insured heavy equipment transport firm that operates in all 48 contiguous US states, Canada and Mexico.
