Available Flatbed Trailer Types

On the COOP platform, common variations of Flatbed Trailers listed for rent in San Diego, CA include:

Lowboys

This type of flatbed is a semitrailer usually designed with two drops on the deck, one after the gooseneck and the other before the wheels. This makes the trailer drop low enough to haul tall and heavy equipment such as bulldozers. This design makes them ideal for hauling tall freight that cannot be transported on standard flatbeds.

Removable Goosenecks

This type of flatbed trailer has a detachable front that allows it to drop off to the ground and form a ramp. The part makes it easy for loading and unloading cargo. It is also used for hauling large equipment that would not fit in an enclosed trailer.


Stretch RNG Trailers

This is a type of gooseneck trailer that is collapsible to enable easy loading and unloading of cargo. It is also referred to as folding RNG and is also used for hauling heavy equipment. And just like the name, the deck stretches to create more space for cargo.

Flatbed Trailer 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 Flatbed Trailers rented on COOP.

Construction

Flatbeds are mainly used in construction applications since they are rugged and most of the equipment and machinery used in construction is super heavy. While most of these items are wide and tall, they are best-transported via flatbeds that have non-limited space and are easy to load.

Appliance Hauling

Automobile Hauling
