flatbed trailer

A flatbed trailer is a type of large, open transport vehicle used to carry heavy or bulky goods that don’t require enclosure. It has a flat, level surface without sides or a roof, making it easy to load and unload cargo like construction materials, machinery, or large equipment. Flatbeds are versatile and often used in trucking to move items that are irregularly shaped or oversized, requiring special handling. They are typically towed by a semi-truck and are designed for efficient, secure transportation of large or heavy loads across long distances.
