Flatbed trailers
Western Truck & Trailer supplies flatbed trailers designed for hauling equipment, construction materials, and oversized freight.
What Is a Flatbed Trailer?
Flatbed trailers are one of the most versatile trailer types used in commercial transportation. Their open deck design allows operators to transport a wide range of cargo that cannot fit inside enclosed trailers.
Flatbeds make loading and unloading easier because cargo can be accessed from the sides, rear, or top using forklifts, cranes, or other lifting equipment.
