Flatbeds are some of the most versatile trailers on the market and can be used in a hundred different ways! To help you decide if a flatbed is right for you, we’ve written up a short list of the 3 most common uses for this style of trailer. Or, if you're ready to start browsing for your new trailer today, feel free to stop by our location in Heber City, Utah.

Transport Vehicles

It’s extremely popular to use flatbed trailers to transport a wide variety of vehicles. While this is partly due to their impressive weight capacity, their included ramps are also a big contributor. These ramps are typically attached at the end of the trailer and are quickly lowered to make loading and unloading your vehicle a breeze. Whether you’re hauling a heavy-duty truck or a group of motorcycles, your trailer will be able to handle the job with no problem.

Transport Materials

While vehicles are a popular cargo for flatbeds, it’s much more common to see them loaded up with various materials. Use them to transport bulky furniture to your new house, haul building materials to a job site, or dispose of yard waste like tree branches and logs. The only thing you can’t carry in this helpful trailer is loose materials, such as dirt or sand.

Transport Machinery

While it’s not uncommon to see flatbeds towed along city streets or parked in neighborhood driveways, they’re much more common on construction and landscaping sites. This is largely due to a flatbed trailer's unique ability to carry heavy equipment as well as a wide range of materials. If you’re looking for a trailer to transport a small fleet of riding mowers, or a mountain of cinder blocks, a flatbed is your best bet!

While this isn’t a complete list of uses for a flatbed, if you find yourself completing jobs like these on a regular basis, a flatbed may just be the most useful piece of equipment you can buy!
