Flatbed Trailers

Standard – it is the most common type of flatbed. It looks like a box trailer with no doors, sides, or roof.

Drop deck – It is also known as step-deck or single-drop, which is usually used to transport over-height freight. It has a bed that drops lower than standard flatbed trailers after clearing the tractor.

Double-drop flatbed trailers – It also has a center portion similar to a single-drop that drops lower than both ends. These types of flatbed trailers have lower ground clearance compared to the standard one.

Tippers – Some freights are much easier to ship on trailers with tipping hydraulic systems.

Walking-floor Trailers – It works well for open-top walled containers used for shipping loose-cargo.

Lowboys – This type of trailers are generally low to the ground and often used to ship unusually tall, large, or heavy cargo.

Covered Wagon or Side-Kit Flatbed – It is merely a regular flatbed trailer fitted with stakes and panels to enclose it. It is also typically covered with a tarp.
