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 like 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 used for both commercial and personal purposes. Many flatbed trucks are equipped with tie-down points to secure loads during transport. They are commonly seen in industries such as construction, logistics, and farming.
