Trucks with flat beds are, well, flat.These trailers are exposed to the elements since they lack walls and roofs. A sturdy aluminum frame supports a hardwood platform that makes up the flatbed trailer. While most trailers have flat decks, some may have drop decks. Flatbed trailers are 8 feet, 6 inches wide, 48 to 53 feet long, and have a deck height of 60 inches. They can carry up to 48,000 pounds of weight.
Since they are open, flatbed transportation provides a wide range of logistical alternatives, particularly for big items. In some regions of the country, you might also see numerous flatbed trailers loaded with heavy items tied together.
