Flatbed trailers: Most common flatbed trailers are 48 feet and 53 feet long. Flatbeds can be used to transport a variety of items, including building materials, machinery, and oversized cargo.
Weight capacity: 48 and 53 foot flatbed trailers can carry 46,000–48,000 pounds. The exact weight capacity depends on the trailer construction, route and whether the weight is distributed evenly across the axles of the trailer.
Flatbed trailers are used for a variety of transportation purposes.
Construction: Transporting building materials like lumber, concrete, steel, and roofing materials.
Agriculture: Hauling farming equipment like tractors, combine harvesters, and livestock feed.
Oversized cargo: Transporting large tanks, oversized machinery, and heavy machinery components.
Ocean containers: Transporting standard 20’ & 40’ ocean containers that can be easily loaded and unloaded with forklifts or cranes. High cube ocean containers would require a step-deck trailer due to the height.
Manufacturing: Transporting goods that are difficult to load into an enclosed trailer and require side loading and unloading.
