Flatbed Trucks For Sale

About Flatbed Trucks

Ideal for oversize and wide loads, new and used medium-duty flatbed trucks for sale offer the versatility to haul anything from building supplies and palletized loads to excavators, tractors, and larger vehicles that might not otherwise fit on a car carrier or within an enclosed truck. A flatbed's open platform also facilitates quick loading and unloading from either side, rather than having to load and unload through a rear door, as you would with a dry van or box truck.

Flatbed Platforms

Flatbed trucks on MDTrader.com are available in Class 4, 5, and 6 models, although the majority fall in the Class 6 category with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 19,501 to 26,000 pounds (8,846 to 11,793 kilograms). These vocational trucks commonly have beds ranging in length from less than 10 to 24 feet (3 to 7.3 meters). Oversized loads longer than 24 ft are often hauled using a flatbed trailer, which is available in greater lengths.

The bed itself is typically constructed with heavy-gauge steel, and it is outfitted with durable wood or aluminum flooring. While most flatbeds don’t have full sidewalls, some feature metal frames, dropsides, or removable stakes that offer extra security and stability for the load and more loading and unloading options.

Because flatbed trucks lack a cover, operators must ensure loads are properly strapped or roped down. To protect operators, flatbed bodies also include steel headboards located against the cab at the front of the bed.

Medium-Duty Flatbed Truck Features

Flatbed trucks are available with a wide range of engine sizes; medium-duty models are often rated for less than 200 to more than 360 horsepower (149 to 268 kilowatts). Axle configurations offer a similar performance scope and come in single, tandem, tridem, and quad rear axles to meet any need.

To lift heavy equipment on and off the flatbed, some medium-duty flatbed trucks might also include a powered boom that uses a load-handling device or hook at the end of the load line. There are also work-focused flatbed trucks used by utility companies, municipalities, and other operations that include a crew cab and storage for toolboxes and other jobsite equipment.
