5 Uses for Flatbed Trucks

Of all the different types of trucks, one of the most versatile is the flatbed truck. These spacious and high-capacity trucks can handle bulky, heavy items that other trucks would really struggle to haul. That versatility means that flatbed trucks can be used for a number of different purposes

DeBary Truck Sales in Sanford is your Florida flatbed truck dealer, serving Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville and Orlando as well as Atlanta, Georgia. Read on to learn some of the many uses of flatbed trucks.

1. Clear Debris

Got a lot of trash or debris you need to clear away from your property or worksite? Your flatbed truck can handle the bulky and odd-shaped nature of a lot of hefty debris, so you can use it to transport organic matter to a burn site, recyclables to a recycling facility or trash to your local junkyard. Get rid of all that debris on your property!

2. Do Landscaping Projects

All landscaping work requires a lot of heavy machinery, power tools and supplies. Make your landscaping projects so much easier with a flatbed truck to transport these items to your worksite from the home improvement store or garden center.

3. Transport Heavy Machines

If you’ve got heavy machinery that you can’t drive to where you need it to be, then you’ll want to use your flatbed truck to transport it instead. Most machines can’t be driven on public roads and they don’t go at very fast speeds and you probably don’t want to put a lot of wear and tear on their wheels, so save yourself time by loading them onto your flatbed truck instead.

4. Assist With Construction Work

You’ll commonly see flatbed trucks used on construction sites because they can be helpful for lots of tasks. Cranes can palace materials onto the flatbed easily since there aren’t any walls or a roof to get in the way. This means that cranes can also lift materials from a flatbed with no trouble. Flatbeds can also move debris and machinery around as needed.

5. Carry Baled Tires

The bulkiness of a bundle of discarded tires, called a “bale,” can be difficult to transport, but a flatbed truck is perfect for this purpose. Old tires are often used for roadfill or erosion control. Flatbed trucks have the weight capacity and the space to easily transport tire bales wherever you need them to go for whatever project you’re doing.
