What is a Flatbed Truck Body (and Why Diamond Truck Body is Your Go-To Builder)
If you’re in construction, landscaping, agriculture, or any industry that requires heavy-duty hauling, you’ve probably seen or used a flatbed truck. But what exactly is a flatbed truck body, and why should you trust Diamond Truck Body to build one for you?
What is a Flatbed Truck Body?
A flatbed truck body is a type of truck bed that features a flat, open platform with no sides or roof. This design makes it incredibly versatile and ideal for hauling oversized, irregular, or heavy loads that wouldn’t easily fit in an enclosed bed. Common uses include transporting:
Construction materials
Heavy machinery
Landscaping supplies
Palletized goods
Agricultural equipment
Flatbed bodies are favored for their easy loading and unloading, especially when using forklifts or cranes. With open access from all sides, you can get the job done faster and more efficiently.
