Welcome back to our freight options series! This time, we’re focusing on Flatbed Trucks, the versatile heroes of construction and oversized freight transport. These trucks are ideal for transporting scaffolding, bricks, steel, timber, and other irregularly shaped items that are essential to construction and building projects across Melbourne and beyond.

1. What Makes Flatbed Trucks Unique?

Flatbed trucks offer unmatched flexibility and accessibility for goods that don’t fit into standard truck configurations. With no walls or roofs, they provide easy loading and unloading from all sides and are perfect for oversized or irregularly shaped goods. Here’s a breakdown of our flatbed truck offerings:

• HR Rigids with Single or Double Front Steering Wheels:
  • Best for medium to heavy loads within Melbourne or regional Victoria.
  • Double-steering wheel options provide better maneuverability for tight spaces.
• Crane-Attached Flatbeds:
  • Equipped with onboard cranes for easy lifting and unloading.
  • Ideal for heavy or awkward goods, like steel beams or machinery.
• Buddy Forklift-Attached Trucks:
  • Combine transport with on-site unloading for ultimate convenience.
• Flatbed Semi-Trailers (45ft):
  • Designed for larger loads, including long iron steel beams.
  • Perfect for Melbourne to regional and interstate transport.
• Flatbed B-Doubles:
  • For maximum capacity and efficiency during long-haul trips across Australia.
