Flatbed shipping is transportation for cargo that may not require the enclosure of a dry van, cannot be loaded or unloaded from a dock or does not fit within the dimensions of standard truck trailers. A flatbed’s design allows for cranes and forklifts to load goods from all angles. 

Benefits of flatbed shipping.

• Flatbed shipping provides some dimensional flexibility for large freight since there are no physical walls. 
• Where dry van trailers are loaded from the rear, flatbed trucks can be loaded from either side, as well as the top and back. 
• Flatbed equipment includes step decks, double drops and RGNs
