We are very happy got an order of 10 units of 2 axle flatbed trailers from our Peru client recently. Designed for high capacity and durability, the 40 feet flatbed trailer equiped with 12 container locks, it can carrier one 40ft container or two 20ft containers.
Why the flatbed trailer is the best-selling model?
1. Versatile and widely applicable
It can haul almost all non-overweight/over-sized cargo, including:
- Machinery and equipment
- Steel and building materials
- Containers
- General bulk goods

2. Flexible loading and unloading
Cargo can be loaded/unloaded from the sides, rear, or top – perfect for forklifts, overhead cranes (top lifting), and traveling cranes, ensuring high efficiency.
3. Relatively low operating costs
As a basic model, it boasts mature technology, numerous manufacturers, and fierce market competition, leading to a lower initial purchase price. Its simple structure also makes maintenance easy with readily available parts, cutting down long-term costs.

How does it compare to other trailer types?
Flatbed Trailer vs. Box Semi Trailer:
Flatbeds offer more flexible loading (ideal for over-high/over-wide cargo), while box trailers provide better protection against rain, dust, and theft.
Flatbed trailer vs. Lowbed Semi Trailer:
Lowbed trailer has a lower load deck(suitable for extra-high/heavy non-detachable cargo) but are less flexible for loading/unloading and less versatile.
Flatbed Trailer vs. Stake Semi-Trailer:
Stake trailer has detachable fence for easier securing of general goods (but require tarps), while flatbeds excel at transporting large machinery and steel.
