When to Rent a Flatbed Trailer
See how SEEK Equipment's flatbed trailers fleet serves businesses across Texas.
Construction Material Hauling
Flatbeds are the go-to trailer for lumber, steel beams, concrete products, roofing materials, and building supplies. The open deck allows easy loading with forklifts or cranes from any direction.
Heavy Equipment & Machinery Transport
Move construction equipment, industrial machinery, generators, and other oversized items. Step deck configurations accommodate taller equipment while staying under standard height limits.
Oil & Gas Pipe and Tubular Hauling
Transport drill pipe, casing, line pipe, and other oilfield tubulars. Pipe stake and coil package configurations secure cylindrical loads safely for transport to well sites and pipe yards.
Oversized & Wide Load Projects
When your cargo does not fit inside an enclosed trailer, a flatbed provides the open deck space needed for oversized loads. Pair with proper permits for wide or heavy loads on Texas highways.

A standard flatbed has a uniform deck height of about 60 inches, suitable for most general freight. A step deck (drop deck) has a lower rear section at about 42 inches, which allows you to haul taller loads while staying under the standard 13'6" height limit for most roads.
