Available Stake Truck Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Stake Trucks listed for rent in Columbia, MD include:

Logging Body

With their fixed middle beam and side support posts, logging body flatbed trucks are specially designed to carry logs. If only log length material is being transported, these flatbed trucks can be hauled using a straight truck, but a different setup and vehicle are needed for tree-length logs or multiple bunks of log length material. Often the straight trucks used with logging body flatbed trucks will have a loader attached for self-loading the logs.

Flatbed Body

The standard flatbed truck includes a flat body with no roof or sides and is widely recognized as a tow truck. Flatbed trucks are able to carry equipment that may not fit in other transportation vehicles which have enclosed cargo areas due to size constraints. The open format of flatbed body trucks also provides for easier loading and unloading, as cranes or other equipment can be used since there are no sides or roofs.

Step Deck

A step deck is a type of flatbed truck that is used to carry cargo that is extremely tall and/or heavy. These can also be called “lowboys” or “step decks”, but they are all the same design. Department of Transportation requirements limits the height of cargo that can be carried on trailers so that bridges or other infrastructure are not damaged. To continue moving this type of cargo, step decks were designed to provide a lower clearance for industrial or tall machinery to be transported.

Stake Bed Flatbed

A flatbed with removable posts or stakes mounted into joists on the side of the flatbed is called a stake bed truck. Easily removed for cargo loading or unloading, these stakes can be put back in place before transportation to ensure the cargo stays in the bed. This format is often used by farmers to haul livestock, feed, timber, and agricultural equipment.

Stake Truck Brands

COOP offers multiple brands of rentals in Columbia, MD, check below for some potential brands for rent depending on availability.

Hyundai

If your business needs a flatbed truck to transport something, that cargo is typically very expensive. Companies want to be able to trust that the flatbed trucks they are hauling any expensive cargo on are built strong enough to carry whatever precious cargo they strap down to it. Hyundai Translead knows this, which is why the company has put so much focus on its R&D efforts since they started manufacturing transportation vehicles in 1947. Hyundai flatbed trucks are built to be extremely tough and provide versatility, value and durability for your next load of cargo.

Utility

Utility Trailer Manufacturing Company is the oldest and third largest trailer manufacturer in the United States, and they have learned a lot about what it takes to make great transportation vehicles during the time they have been in business. Built with their patented crossmember system and boasting a 47,000 lbs standard coil haul package, the Utility 4000 AE model flatbed trucks can carry the weight of steel on a body built with aluminum, saving precious weight and giving you lower fuel consumption. This American-made flatbed truck comes to you from an innovative brand that is known for its durability and quality and will deliver whatever cargo you put on it safely.

Vanguard

Vanguard flatbed trucks are available in both lightweight steel VSF or fully aluminum models that both list 80,000 lbs distributed frame rating. While the strength alone may be something to consider, the fact that the fully aluminum model can deliver the same strength while being far lighter is a benefit that can help your pocketbook in the long run from reduced fuel costs. Both models are 48 ft long and include premium performance features that provide valuable operational savings and years of trouble-free performance.

Freightliner

Flatbed trucks from Freightliner are some of the most favored by drivers in the industry. The high-quality vehicles built by this brand are able to withstand the toughest trips and most difficult cargo loads around, giving them a well-respected reputation among drivers and transportation industry insiders.

Stake Truck Uses

The commercial fleet vehicles rented on COOP can be used for any of your business needs. Here are some examples of the types of uses for Stake Trucks rented on COOP.

Landscaping

Because they don’t have sides attached to the bed, flatbed trucks can allow your crew fast and easy access to their landscaping equipment during stops at different customer locations during the day.

For all construction jobs big and small, the COOP app can help you find the right flatbed truck rental to get your job in Columbia done today!
