Flatbeds are the most prevalent and adaptable variety of freight trailers today. Characterized by their expansive, flat, open deck, these trailers lack sides or a roof, facilitating seamless loading and unloading from virtually any direction. This design makes flatbeds particularly suitable for transporting a diverse range of cargo, including oversized or heavy items that may not fit inside traditional enclosed trailers. Their versatility and ease of access make flatbeds a preferred choice for many industries.

This is the flatbed option without an onboard crane. Tell us what loading equipment is available at both ends. If lifting is needed, compare the 20-ton flatbed with crane; its transport and lifting suitability must be assessed separately.
For goods requiring an enclosed body, see the 20-ton closed panelvan. For oversized cargo, discuss your load dimensions and route through our abnormal-load transport service so the appropriate transport arrangement can be confirmed.
Published prices are estimates. Final pricing depends on distance, scope of work, duration and site requirements. Review our truck hire rates and include any packing or loading assistance needed in your enquiry.

Answers to help you plan
This category may suit open-deck transport of equipment, materials or machinery, subject to the load assessment. Send the cargo dimensions, total weight and support requirements. Weather exposure and the handling method should also be considered before choosing an open truck.
A flatbed listing does not by itself include a mounted crane or separate lifting service. Tell us what loading equipment is available at both sites. If crane handling is needed, include it in the enquiry so it can be assessed and quoted.
Send the full dimensions, weight and shape, including any projections. The team needs to assess deck fit, support, securing and the loaded transport arrangement. Oversized cargo may require different equipment or abnormal-load planning.
State the protection requirements before booking. An open flatbed is not an enclosed body, and packaging or covering needs to be agreed for the load. If an enclosed truck is more appropriate, we can discuss that option against the cargo and loading requirements.
Tell us what needs moving, where it needs to go and what access is like. We can help you work out the next step.
