If it will fit on a truck AND fit through a street/highway any size will fit.
It all depends on what size forklift you want to put on one. City's and States usually have a height limit of 14' and a width limit of 8.6' to 9' without a special permit.
A box van is between 8' to 10' tall and about 8' wide on the "inside" and 28' to 53' long. Van trailers have a limited weight limit for the floor.
A flat bed is approximately 8'6" wide and 28' to 53' long. Trailers can have any where from 1 to 14+ axles so there is not really any limit.
