What Are Flatbed Trucks Used For?
Flatbed trucks are one of the most versatile vehicles on the road today. With their open, level platform and lack of sides or a roof, flatbeds haul oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo that simply won’t fit inside a traditional box truck. Whether in construction, landscaping, agriculture, or manufacturing, a well-built flatbed truck body in Georgia from K&K Manufacturing can streamline your business operations.
The Purpose and Power of Flatbed Trucks
A flatbed truck hauls heavy, bulky, or non-standard materials that can’t easily fit into enclosed spaces. The open design allows for easy loading and unloading from all angles—side, rear, or even overhead via crane or forklift. This open design makes flatbeds an ideal choice for transporting:
- Construction materials
- Large equipment or machinery
- Palletized loads
- Agricultural products
- Landscaping supplies
If your business requires frequent transportation of wide or oddly shaped cargo, a flatbed truck body is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity.
Industries That Rely on Flatbeds
- Construction & Contracting – Transporting rebar, scaffolding, and equipment directly to job sites.
- Agriculture – Moving hay bales, feed, or farm machinery with ease.
- Manufacturing & Distribution – Carrying oversized products that don’t fit in standard box trucks.
- Landscaping – Hauling trees, mulch, stone, and equipment for commercial and residential projects.
