Let’s talk about the seven (7) most common uses for a flatbed trailer.

HAULING CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Equipment hauling and moving construction vehicles and tool boxes and the endless equipment used on construction sites and in roadwork.  Great for skid steers (bobcats), bulldozers, and excavators, steam rollers.  

A flatbed trailer is stable and makes it easy to load equipment onto, making it safe and easy work relocating these bulky items to the right job safely.  Additionally, being able to move work equipment makes it possible for a single operator to transport multiple pieces of equipment at once. This improves efficiency while ensuring the safe transport of critical construction and roadside equipment. 

During equipment hauling, items will be driven onto the flatbed or lifted onto the trailer then they will be secured to the trailer using specialized ratchets and straps. 

TRANSPORTING BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

For large building and construction projects, bulky materials will often need to be transported to the job site. Items that might be placed on the back of a flatbed trailer include all of the following:

piping, rebar, lumber, large concrete blocks, pre-fab walls and trusses, steel frames, scaffolding, fence posts, the list could be endless.

Transporting materials on a flatbed trailer accommodates extremely long or bulky materials.  Enclosed trailers are great, but a flatbed offers more room for overhang if you need to move longer items. 

As is the case with transporting equipment, construction materials have to be carefully secured to the trailer. Without the help of walls and framing, items can easily fall off if they are not properly affixed to the flatbed. 

MOVING SCRAP METALS AND RECYCLABLES

Across the country, flatbed trailers are used regularly to haul scrap metals, baled tires, and other recyclables. The large bed of these trailers makes it possible to pile on large amounts of materials. 

In many cases, scrap metal is unwieldy and hard to organize. From old piping to residential refrigerators, a flatbed trailer can handle loads that are more difficult to fit into confined spaces. Additionally, items such as baled tires do not need protection from the elements, which makes a flatbed trailer the perfect fit. 

CARRYING LANDSCAPING ITEMS

From the backhoes used to dig out trenches to full-grown trees for planting, a flatbed trailer is often used to transport landscaping goods and equipment.

With many sizes of flatbed trailers available at Montgomery, there is a flatbed trailer to match all landscaping needs.  For a landscape company, a small flatbed can be towed by a pickup truck and will make it easy to transport saplings, ride-on lawnmowers, and various tools. Does your landscaping business need a flatbed capable of hauling your large equipment? Will it save you time? 

TRANSPORTING OIL AND GAS RIGS

Here in Texas, the oil and gas industry has always relied on flatbed trailers as a needed tool in their processes.  Plenty of open room and the ability to tie down multiple pieces of equipment on one flatbed trailer makes it possible to transport entire rigs from one job site to another efficiently.
