A flatbed truck is a type of vehicle designed for transporting goods that require easy loading and unloading. It features a flat, open bed without sides or a roof, making it ideal for carrying large or heavy items such as construction materials, machinery, and pallets. The flat surface allows for versatile loading options, including forklifts and cranes. These trucks come in various sizes and can be equipped with different features, such as hydraulic lifts or tarps for securing loads. Commonly used in industries like construction and logistics, flatbed trucks are essential for efficient transportation of bulky items that cannot fit in standard enclosed vehicles.
