When should you consider using a flatbed truck instead of trailer? We recommend you ship tall uprights on a flatbed truck. The only time you would want to use a standard 53′ trailer is if you if you have a mix of uprights and beams and uprights are 12′ or shorter in height. You will find it troublesome to load and unload tall uprights from a van or trailer.

Flatbed trucks allow you to quickly load or unload uprights from the side of the flatbed. Flatbed trucks require that you access the load from the back and sides of truck. Flatbeds must never be loaded or unloaded from a dock. Only vans and trailers must be unloaded from a dock. Please make sure you have a forklift and dock when receiving truckloads of pallet rack.
