Most flatbed truck applications revolve around heavy haulage. The lack of sides and a roof on flatbed trucks make it easy to haul large, heavy objects. As such, flatbeds are used for hauling construction equipment, in farms, and even towing automobiles. Businesses with transportation needs in Ft. Lauderdale can easily access some of the best flatbed trucks available for rent on the COOP website.
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.
Mack
Before Mack started manufacturing trailers, it used to be a top producer of buses and trolleybuses. It was established in 1900 and built its first truck in 1907. The company, however, started as Mack Brothers company and later changed into its current name. It operates under its parent company, AB Volvo.

Farms
Flatbed trucks, also known as stake trucks are used for different farm applications. They are used for carrying fertilizers, farm equipment, and farm animals. Apart from chains and other items used for additional cargo security, stakes can be added to the sides to ensure loads do not fall off from the truck. Also, they are strong enough to maneuver rough terrains in a farm or ranch setting.
Building and Construction
Flatbed trucks are used to haul construction equipment to and from the job site. 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.
Towing Services
Flatbed trucks are also used for towing. Instead of hiring a towing company to get the job done for you, you can access a suitable flatbed truck on COOP and do the job yourself. Also, if you have a small startup towing business, then a flatbed truck would be a good start before you acquire more trucks to expand your business.

Most construction equipment and items are large and heavy, not forgetting that their height exceeds the standard freight height.
