A flatbed truck is a long-haul vehicle with a large, open-air bed, loading ramps, and a cab. They are one of the most commonly used types of vehicles used to transport heavy loads with unusual dimensions. Flatbed trucks are best suited to carry items that would be too large or oddly shaped to be transported in an enclosed vehicle and, as a result, need to be loaded onto the truck bed with a forklift or a crane.
Construction companies and the trucking industry commonly use flatbed trucks for a variety of purposes due to their versatility: some examples of cargo that is frequently transported on flatbed trucks include heavy machinery, mobile homes, vehicles such as cars, pickup trucks like the Ford F-150, construction materials, and military equipment.
