Types Of Flatbeds

Standard flatbeds are very simple — but also very versatile. They are the “do all” of the flat deck world, and offer limitless potential in how you use them. Their open, flat deck is great for a wide variety of tasks, including hauling materials, machinery, or other large loads. Since they are so open, they also offer near-limitless customization.

Landscaping flatbeds typically include all of the benefits of a standard flatbed, with the added feature of either collapsible or permanent walls, along with a gate. This allows you to haul landscaping equipment with ease, while also giving you the flexibility to transport loose landscaping materials to the jobsite.

For tradesmen, there is no substitute for a utility flatbed. This variation sacrifices some bed space to include multiple secure storage boxes, allowing you to safely keep your tools in your vehicle and transport them to the jobsite. They still have plenty of room for hauling materials, however, so you can still make use of the flat deck space.

By far the most mechanical style of flat deck, dump flatbeds incorporate hydraulics to raise and lower the deck. If your primary use is to transport loose materials, then this is the flatbed for you. Thanks to its dump functionality, you can save hours of labour otherwise spent emptying your truck bed with a flip of a switch.
