Flatbed trailers are very common in industries that handle extremely large and heavy freight. The trailers are long and made of strong parts that provide the stability needed for heavy hauling. Flatbed trailers are also versatile with some models that can be easily customized to fit the task at hand. For business owners in Auburn, joining COOP affords you the convenience of renting the flatbed trailer you need at a competitive rate.
Double Drops
A double drop trailer usually ranges between 24 ft to 29.6 ft in length. These trailers are used to haul cargo that is taller than a standard flatbed can legally carry. Built with a high deck at the front and another at the rear of the trailer, these decks create a well where tall cargo such as a bulldozer can be placed for hauling. A standard double drop can haul up to 40,000 lbs, making it a great choice for hauling large and heavy equipment.
Extendable Double Drop
Similar to double drops, extendable double drop trailers are extendable to accommodate more freight than the standard double drop. With lengths of 29 ft to 50 ft, the extendable double drop trailer can be used to haul large and heavy equipment.
Single Drop
This is a flatbed truck made up of two decks, a lower and an upper one. These trailers are also used to carry tall cargo that cannot be carried on a standard flatbed due to height requirements. Used to carry up to 48,000 lbs, step decks usually range in length from 48 ft to 53 ft.
Hyundai
Hyundai is a top trailer manufacturer with types ranging from dry vans, refrigerated trailers, flatbeds, chassis, and dollies in North America, the hot-dip steel galvanizing process for the structural steel components of their HT model has led to toughness and dependability that is hard to beat.

Stoughton
Stoughton has grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of dry van, grain, and refrigerated trailers in North America. This might explain part of the reason why it is highly sought-after by most Renters on the COOP platform. Known for their attention to detail and great customer service, you are likely to find a reliable Stoughton trailer for your business.
Heavy Hauling
Flatbed trailers are mainly built for hauling heavy, tall, and durable items that don’t need to be protected from the elements such as vehicles, construction equipment, cranes, or large piping. Some flatbed trailers have modified decks like lowboys that are lower to the ground and can either be used in landscaping for ease of access or to haul extraordinarily tall items.
Construction
Whether laying foundations for commercial buildings, remodeling residential complexes or working on individual homes, the construction industry needs heavy equipment that isn’t always easy to move to the job site. Most flatbed trailers have chains or straps used to keep freight on the hauling deck during transportation. Also, features such as those that enable the trailers to be extended create more space for cargo to be carried from.
