Flatbed trailers are open from all sides and do not have a box that covers the load being shipped. As a result, it is extremely easy to load and off-load. The load can be picked up by a crane from the top or picked up by fork lifter from the sides. The maximum weight that can be loaded on a flatbed trailer is 48,000 pounds. The length of a flatbed trailer varies. It comes in different sizes including the following: 24 feet, 40 feet, 45 feet, 48 feet, and 53 feet, the most common being the 48 feet flatbed trailer. The maximum width that is legally allowed is 8.5 feet and the maximum allowed height of the load is 8.5 feet. The flatbed is usually at a height of 60 inches from the ground. Since there is no container to keep the material being transferred adequately covered, the material has to be covered by tarp. You cannot just drape tarp over the load. Covering a flatbed trailer with a tarp can be tricky. There are certain things to consider, mainly the material of the tarp and the correct safety precautions.

Lowboy trailers are also known as low-bed, low loader, float, or double-drop trailers. It is a semi-trailer having a drop deck. It has two drops in the deck, one right behind the gooseneck and the second one is present just before the wheels. As a result, these types of trailers sit very close to the ground. The drop allows the shipping of very huge items like heavy duty construction equipment that is usually heavier than the maximum weight limit of other types of trailers. They are used to haul machinery and equipment like bulldozers, excavators, and other construction equipment. Their maximum legal height in width is greater than the other types of trailers. The weight limit for lowboy trailer with two axles is 40,000 pounds. The weight limit can be increased to as much as 80,000 pounds (the number of axles required will vary accordingly). The maximum height of loads that it can carry is 14 feet. However, you would need additional permits from the authorities before carrying such heavy and oversized loads on a lowboy trailer.

Multi-car trailers could have been included under the specialty trailers but there is a reason why we decided to list them separately. The concept of specialty trailers is still growing but multi-car trailers have been very common for many years now. These are the trailers that are used to transport multiple cars (from to 8) from one location to the other. They are two types of multi-car trailers; single Decker and double Decker trailers. If the number of car is as many as 8, a double Decker trailer is used. Since overpass height limits are usually 11.6 feet, multi-car trailers generally cannot pass through. The vehicles are secured to ensure that they do not get loose while being hauled. Now that you know all about the different types of trailers, it would be a lot easier for you to decide which one would suit your needs. Trailers are a major investment and one should consider the type of freight they need to transfer before settling on a particular type of trailer. In-land freight transportation with the help of trailers is still one of the most affordable options compared to air-freight and a much faster alternative than sea-freight.
