As the name would suggest, flatbed trailers are characterised by a flat bed of metal on top of a trailer chassis and running gear. This allows for the widest trailer possible. These are commonly used by people carrying pallets, farm equipment, furniture, hay, industrial products and other wide loads. For those who want to maximise their horizontal space, flatbed trailers are the best way to go.
Working from our Warners Bay factory in Lake Macquarie, we’ve worked with thousands of customers over the past 50 years.
Our business is still family-owned and run, and services Newcastle, the Hunter Region and New South Wales with bespoke designs and custom flatbeds that are suitable for heavy-duty, industrial applications. Our models go up to 4.5-tonne GVM.
We have invested thousands of hours in developing our heavy duty trailer products in our workshop to ensure every FELK trailer that leaves our warehouse is of the highest quality. Our trailers are manufactured to Australian standards, to suit Australian road conditions, and are RMS certified. Our customers range from industry, government to the general public.
Flatbed Trailer Ramp Options
Our flatbed trailers are available with ramps for roll on products. These are available in two specifications:
- Fixed at the rear. Fixed ramps are located at the rear of the trailer and are connected using a hinge. When not in use, these stand vertically at 90 degrees from the trailer bed and are locked using a heavy-duty latch. These simply tilt down to meet the ground, allowing operators the ability to load their products onto the trailer. These are fixed by a metal bar to prevent the ramps from moving around. Heavier ramps would be gas strut assisted for operator safety & ease. A gas strut will reduce a 30kg ramp to 5kg on the lift.
- Slide underneath the flatbed. This is similar in nature to traditional car-float trailers. The ramps are physically stored underneath the bed of the trailer. The operator would slide them out from under the tray and lock them into position. People who are carrying long payloads or require forklift loading from the rear would opt for option #2 Slide underneath the flatbed to achieve maximum front-to-back space plus accessibility.
