When it comes to transporting large, heavy, or oddly shaped cargo, flatbed hauling is the go-to option. Unlike enclosed trucks, flatbed trucks allow for easy loading and unloading of oversized and heavy materials. If your business deals with large shipments, flatbed hauling may be exactly what you need.
What is Flatbed Hauling?
Flatbed hauling involves transporting goods on a flatbed truck, which is an open platform with no sides or roof. This type of hauling is ideal for large, heavy, or bulky items that cannot fit into a standard enclosed truck.
Benefits of Flatbed Hauling:
- Easy Loading and Unloading: Flatbeds make it easier to load and unload large or oddly shaped goods. Equipment like cranes and forklifts can be used to efficiently move the cargo.
- Versatile: Flatbed trucks can carry a wide variety of goods, including construction materials, machinery, steel, and more.
- No Size Limitations: Unlike enclosed trucks, flatbeds don’t have height or width restrictions, making them ideal for oversized shipments.
- Safety and Security: While flatbed shipments are open, they are secured with straps, tarps, and other equipment to ensure that goods remain safe during transport.
When Should You Choose Flatbed Hauling?
Flatbed hauling is the best option for:
- Construction Materials: Large building materials like steel beams, pipes, and concrete can be easily loaded onto flatbed trucks.
- Heavy Equipment: Large machinery, industrial equipment, or vehicles are often transported via flatbeds.
- Oversized Loads: If your cargo exceeds the height or width limitations of enclosed trucks, flatbed hauling offers a practical solution.
- Unconventional Loads: Goods that don’t fit into standard freight categories, like oversized crates or wind turbine blades, can benefit from flatbed hauling.
