What is Flatbed Trucking and When Does It Help

The ideal way to transport freight that is unsuitable for other kinds of trucks such as containers and dry vans is with flatbed trucking. This type of trucking is often available on both a full truckload and less than truckload basis. Flatbed trucking can be used to move a variety of types of freight such as building materials, large equipment, and other machinery.

Flatbed trucks offer a great dimensional flexibility allowing for nearly any size or shape load. Moreover, flatbed trucks are more convenient because heavy loads can simply be loaded on the truck or taken off using a crane or a winch. Therefore, construction sites and shipping points where docks are not available or situations where loading and unloading have to be quickly done under a tight schedule are perfect situations for using flatbed trucking.

Flatbed Trucking Service

Many kinds of trailers can be used in flatbed trucking depending on what type of load is being carried or how the freight is going to be loaded. The common types are standard flatbeds, drop decks, extendable step decks, and removable goosenecks. Additionally, for those with special flatbed trucking needs. A variety of other types of equipment and components may be required to secure freight and keep it safe during transport. This includes traps, chains, or coil racks.

At Westervelt Transport, we can employ all types of trailers to meet your flatbed trucking needs. With our expertise, we assure you that your cargo will be hauled safely to its destination in the condition you supplied it to us.

Advantages of Flatbed Trucking

  • The deck space on flatbed trucks is continuous, which means materials that cannot be moved by other trucks, either due to the weight or size, can be moved by flatbed trucks. If the load is too heavy or too large, special permits may have to be taken to transport it.
  • The freight on flatbed trucks can be loaded with the help of cranes. Therefore, minimal manual work is required for loading and unloading unlike with other types of trucks such as refrigerated vans or dry vans.
  • Another major advantage of flatbed trucks is that they can be loaded from above, from behind, or from the sides. This is why flatbed trailers are so versatile.
