The classic workhorse for general flatbed hauling with a uniform deck height.
A flatbed trailer is an open platform trailer without sides or roof, designed for hauling oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo. They offer easy loading from any side and are essential for construction materials, machinery, and equipment transport.
A 48-foot flatbed trailer can carry approximately 48,000 lbs of cargo. This assumes a standard tractor weight, keeping the gross vehicle weight under the 80,000 lb federal limit. Actual capacity varies based on trailer weight and axle configuration.
A standard flatbed trailer has a deck height of approximately 60 inches (5 feet) from the ground. This height provides optimal stability for heavy equipment and oversized loads while remaining within standard DOT height regulations.
Flatbed trailers are ideal for construction materials (steel, lumber, pipes), heavy machinery and equipment, vehicles, oversized items, and any cargo that won't fit in enclosed trailers or requires crane loading.
CRUMS Leasing offers flatbed trailer leases starting at a 12-month minimum term, with flexible options for longer commitments at reduced monthly rates.
