Available Flatbed Truck Types

Here are some possible variations of Flatbed Truck rentals in Jersey City

Stake Bed Body

This type of flatbed has detachable stakes running along its edges. The stakes are normally used to give extra support for goods while on transit. Since they are removable, loading cargo on the truck becomes easier, especially for large loads.

Step Deck

This type of flatbed truck is characterized by two platforms adjacent to each other, with one of them lower than the other. The one at the lowest end can also double as a ramp for easy loading and loading of cargo. The length of the top deck is usually shorter than the bottom deck, a feature that is perfect for construction projects. The lower deck can be used to carry heavy machinery like a tractor while the top deck ferries other supplies like steel rods and bags of cement.

Lowboys

This kind of design differs from the standard flatbed design because of the closeness to the ground. Lowboys lay closer to the ground to create more room for tall loads. Usually, the maximum load weight that a standard lowboy can support is 44,000 pounds.
