As the name suggests, flatbed trucks consist of a flat, level deck with no sides or roof. This structural composition is great for individuals looking to move oversized cargo. In addition, flatbed trucks are built for heavy haul duties that other standard trucks cannot complete. As such, business owners in Auburn looking for reliable heavy hauling solutions can rent with COOP by registering with the platform.
Logging Body
After being cut, trees can either be transported in log lengths or three lengths. For the log lengths, a logging body flatbed truck may be used. These may be towed by a straight truck, which often has a loader mounted on the rear for self-loading. These logging body flatbed trucks have fixed middle beam and side support posts which are specifically designed for carrying logs.
Flatbed Body
The flatbed truck is the most common type of trailer in use and includes a towable truck with a flat body and no sides or roof. Flatbed trucks can carry large or oddly-shaped loads that may not fit into other types of transportation that have enclosed cargo areas. Flatbed trucks are also much easier to load and unload than other types of cargo vehicles, because cranes or other types of loading equipment may be used.
Step Deck Trucks
Step-deck trucks are built closer to the ground than a standard flatbed. This feature allows tall cargo to be transported without the need for special permits. Like standard flatbed trucks, step deck trucks also have an open format with no sides or roof, allowing ease of loading and unloading.
Stake Bed
Stake bed flatbed trucks consist of a flatbed truck with removable stakes or posts that fit into joists attached to the bed. These stakes allow stake bed flatbed trucks to be used to haul oddly-shaped or large cargo, as the stakes can be removed for loading then attached before transportation to ensure the cargo stays in place.
