You will find different flatbed truck rentals available in Dallas on the platform for all your medium-duty and heavy-duty transportation needs.
Lowboys
Lowboy flatbed trucks, just as the name suggests, are often extremely low when compared to other flatbed trucks. They are characterized by two drops at the deck, one after the wheels and the other one after the gooseneck. They can carry a maximum freight weight of up to 40,000 lb and can have lengths of 24 ft- 29.6 ft.
Double Drop With Detachable Deck
Double drop flatbed trucks are as wide as 8.6 ft and have a total length of 48 ft with a bottom well as long as 28 ft. They can carry a maximum legal freight weight of 42,000 lb and a legal height of 11.8 ft. The double drop aspect which creates the bottom well allows the hauling of freight that is cumbersome to carry with traditional flatbed trucks.
Removable Goosenecks (RGN)
Removable goosenecks have length and width limits of 29ft and 8.5ft respectively. As opposed to conventional flatbed trucks, RGNs have extra axles which is why they can carry very heavy loads. The maximum legal freight weight for removable goosenecks is 150,000 pounds and can be as high as 11.6ft. Also, they make it easy to load cargo since they have a ramp that can be pulled from the main deck.

Construction Applications
Most equipment used in construction is extremely large and heavy. Flatbed trucks have the threshold to haul such equipment to and from the worksite. All the specifications allow them to haul the large and heavy equipment used in construction. Also, they are used to remove scrap materials after all construction and building work is done.
Shipping Containers
Some containers are huge and heavy and require an equally large medium of transportation. Flatbeds come in different types which make it possible to haul different sized items making them the most suitable for the job.
Landscaping
A lot of landscapers use stake trucks for their transportation needs. This includes hauling everything from tools like gravel mixers to trees and everything in between. Also, flatbeds are quite handy for more complex landscaping that requires large and oversized equipment and tools that are extremely heavy.
Towing Services
Flatbed trucks are also applicable for towing purposes, considering that they are flat, long, and heavy duty. Vehicle dealerships and other companies use flatbed trucks to haul vehicles. Also, they are usually customized and used by towing companies to haul wrecked and other immobile vehicles.
Huge Machinery
Flatbeds are also used for hauling machinery that is oddly shaped or any items that cannot be hauled by normal enclosed trailers and trucks. They are sturdy enough to carry such items without compromising the performance or even the safety of the driver and that of other motorists.
Towing businesses require heavy duty trucks in order to operate. Some vehicles are huge and in some cases, a single towing job may require you to tow more than just one vehicle. Flatbeds are big enough to tow multiple vehicles at the same time. Dallas businesses that offer towing services can easily access flatbeds of their preference on the COOP website depending on their size of work.
