Flatbed trailers are a type of transport vehicle designed with a flat, open platform. They are commonly used to carry large or heavy loads that do not require an enclosed space, such as construction materials, machinery, and vehicles. The absence of sides or a roof allows for easy loading and unloading from any angle. These trailers come in various sizes and can be towed by trucks or tractors. They often feature tie-down points to secure cargo during transport. Flatbed trailers are popular in industries like construction, logistics, and shipping due to their versatility and efficiency in handling oversized items.
