Overview
Flatbeds take the freight that won't fit through a dock door, including bundled steel, lumber, pipe, precast and palletized building materials, crane- or forklift-loaded from any side.
Steel/aluminum combo and all-aluminum decks balance durability against tare weight. Stake and pipe pockets, rub rails and winch tracks give drivers securement points the full length of the deck.
- Side, top and rear loading by forklift or crane
- Stake & pipe pockets, rub rail and sliding winch tracks
- Steel/aluminum combo or all-aluminum construction
- Spread-axle or closed-tandem configurations
