A flatbed trailer is one of the most versatile trailers used in the freight industry. Its main purpose is to haul oversized freight, equipment, machinery, or any other type of cargo that will not fit inside a dry van enclosed trailer. The cargo can be placed on the long flat bed of the trailer and strapped and secured down for transport. The most desirable part of this trailer is the ability to load the cargo from the sides or back using a forklift, or even a crane depending on the type of cargo being loaded.
