A flatbed truck can be articulated or rigid, but either way its bed is exactly what the name implies: flat, level and open, with no sides or roof. That open design makes loading fast, which is why flatbeds are the go-to for heavy, weather-tolerant cargo, as well as oversized loads that simply won't fit inside a closed body.

  • The bed is flat, level, and open: no sides and no roof. The truck can be articulated or rigid.
  • Loading is fast. It suits heavy cargo that can take the weather, and pieces that will not fit a closed body.
  • The published payload above is 3 mt. Deck length varies by unit.
