Flatbed Trucks For Sale in South Carolina

Ways To Use A Flatbed Truck

Every economy in the world depends on the folks who take supplies, materials, and products from A to B. One of the most important tools for that trade is the flatbed truck, a truck with a level bed without sides or a roof. This allows these trucks to be loaded with cargo of any size, shape, or weight, making them especially popular in shipping agricultural or construction equipment. 

We here at Carolina International Trucks have put together some of the other ways you can use a flatbed truck. Whether you’re buying your first truck or adding to your fleet, there’s a place for these. If you want to know more, or you’re just ready to browse, contact any of our six locations in South Carolina. Our staff are ready and waiting to help find what you need at the prices you want.

Transporting Heavy Machinery

Like we mentioned, a flatbed truck is perfect for getting heavy equipment and machinery around, especially if these machines aren’t able to drive on highways on their own. Tractors and backhoes tend to hold up traffic, but secure one on your flatbed and you’ve got your solution. Even if all you’re doing is avoiding adding mileage to your cargo, a flatbed is the answer.

Transporting Heavy Materials

Whether you’re bringing girders to a construction site or baled tires to a disposal site, flatbed trucks are ideal for hauling large and heavy cargo. The open design of the cargo bed allows for easy trussing of the load, meaning even materials longer than the bed itself can still be safely transported. For materials that won’t fit in a typical cargo bay, a flatbed can save the day.

Landscaping & Debris

Construction sites tend to accumulate scrap metal, wood, concrete, and other materials quickly. That debris makes it difficult to navigate the site and get the work done, so clearing it quickly and regularly is important. Cargo bays might struggle to accommodate the amounts or types of materials you need to move, but a flatbed is easy to load up with whatever you need to. 

A flatbed truck can just as easily help with landscaping jobs for the same reason. It can carry large and oddly-shaped materials like trees, timber, rocks, and more. One flatbed might be able to transport everything you need for your entire project!
