Flatbed trucks are best for hauling oddly-shaped freight that exceeds the standard weight and height for other trucks. COOP by Ryder website offers a variety of flatbed truck rentals available in Orlando, from drop decks to lowboys, and removable goosenecks, among others.
Lowboys
These are a classification of flatbed trucks that can haul tall freight, mostly between 40,000- 80,000 pounds. Lowboys usually vary in size which determines the number of axles on a truck, with length ranging between 24-29.6 ft. Also, the legal height of freight lowboys can carry is usually limited to 12 feet tall.
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
Removable gooseneck trucks are also abbreviated as RGN, and can haul freight as heavy as 150,000 pounds. They are fitted with additional axles which make it easy to haul extremely heavy loads and can be as long as 29ft on the main deck and as wide as 8.5ft. The trailer part of the RGN truck is removable to form a ramp that aids with loading and unloading. The legal freight height for removable goosenecks is limited to 11.6ft.
Stretch Double Drop Flatbed
Unlike most flatbed trucks, a stretch double drop flatbed has a well, which is the middle part of the trailer. The length of the main deck lies between 29 ft and 65 ft while the well can be between 25-29 ft. While double drop flatbeds are suited to haul oversized cargo, their legal freight weight is 45,000 pounds with a height limit of 11.6.

Container Shipping
Containers come in different sizes, most of which are heavy duty. Flatbeds are the most reliable as they can be used to carry multiple containers thanks to the different types which make it possible to haul different sized items.
Landscaping and Forestry
Landscaping and forestry work is demanding and involves using heavy machines like log splitters, delimbers, wood chippers, and grinders, etc. Landscapers will need flatbed trucks to move such equipment to and from the job site. In addition, there is a need to haul trees and logs after the work is complete.
Farm Applications
Large Scale farmers use big farm equipment and machinery to make work easier for them. But hauling such equipment requires an equally heavy-duty vehicle. Flatbed trucks are able to haul this machinery, from weeders to harvesters, and mowers, just to mention a few.
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.
Construction Applications
Most equipment used in construction are extremely large and heavy. Flatbed trucks have the threshold to haul such equipment to and from the worksite.
