Types of Flatbed Trucking Trailers

Many industries rely on flatbed trucking to move oversized, bulky or irregularly shaped freight that doesn’t fit inside a standard truck trailer. That’s because flatbed trailers come in a variety of configurations to accommodate just about any type of freight.

At Magnet Transport Group, we have an entire fleet of flatbed trailer options and equipment that can be customized to meet your unique transport needs. From building materials and heavy equipment to complicated, oversize loads, we expertly match you with the right flatbed trailer to save you money, ensure safe delivery, and comply with transportation regulations.

Standard Flatbed Trailers

Designed with a flat deck and no roof, sides or doors, our standard flatbed trailers are available in 48 to 53 feet in length. Often used for hauling steel, lumber and heavy equipment, standard flatbed trailers can navigate diverse terrains and tight spaces.

Extended Flatbed Trailers

Sometimes referred to as stretch trailers, our extended flatbeds are available in lengths of 48 to 85 feet. Perfect for freight that is too long to transport on a standard trailer, such as industrial pipes, structural beams and other extra-long construction materials.

Step Deck & Drop Deck Trailers

Single drop, step deck trailers are flatbeds with a lower deck, or “drop”, that allows us to transport freight up to 10 to 11 feet in height without exceeding the legal height limit for commercial vehicles. We have both standard and extended single-drop step deck trailers with lengths of 48 to 69 feet.

Low Boy Trailers

Low boy trailers, also known as double drop, step deck flatbeds, can safely carry loads up to 11.5 to 12 feet. We have a variety of double drop and low boy trailer options, including stretches with bed lengths from 48 to 69 feet, and removable gooseneck (RGN) trailers.

Removable Gooseneck Trailers (RGN)

RGN trailers are typically double drop or low boy flatbeds with a removeable gooseneck that allows the trailer to be lowered, creating a ramp for easy loading and unloading of heavy equipment and machinery, such as backhoes and bulldozers.

Conestoga Trailers

Conestoga trailers are flatbed trailers with retractable curtains made of durable tarp on a metal frame, offering the flexibility of a flatbed with the protection similar to a dry van. We have standard, single drop and low-profile Conestoga trailers to accommodate cargo up to 10 feet in height.
