Flatbed trucks are known for their versatility. They can haul different types of cargo with little effort. Because of how they are structured, flatbed truck trailers can transport taller and heavier items.
Specifically, flatbeds are ideal for oversized cargo and freight that can’t be easily loaded into or carried by enclosed vans. You’ll often see flatbed trucks hauling long pipes and highway barriers. Additional cargo that can be hauled by flatbed trucks includes:
Lumber
Steel coils
Mobile homes
Bailed tires
Machines
Military machinery
Scrap metal
Tow trucks
Flatbed transport is also highly useful for moving shipping containers. The trucks carry the containers from inland ports or factories to seaports, where they’re loaded onto ships. Flatbed trailers can haul super sacks, too. These industrial fabric bags can hold up to 2,000 pounds of dry products, such as sand, fertilizer, or seeds.

Lowboys
Lowboys are the best trailer type for tall cargo. Excavators, bulldozers, and other construction machinery are commonly moved on lowboys. They are also known as a double drop trailer, lowboys sit only 18 inches above the road at their lowest point, making them ideal for moving tall equipment through tunnels and under bridges. A two-axel lowboy has a weight capacity of 40,000lbs, but additional axels can be added to accommodate oversized loads.

Do you know what LoT is in the logistics world and what makes it useful?
Lot vs. Other Identifiers
Lot Number: Tracks a batch (e.g., all black shoes made Monday).
SKU (Stock Keeping Unit): Tracks a product type (e.g., all black shoes, regardless of batch).
Serial Number: Tracks individual items (e.g., one specific pair of black shoes).
It is a unique identifier (code) assigned to that specific batch.
It provides a digital fingerprint for the entire group.
How Lot Tracking Works in Logistics:
Assignment: A lot number is assigned when goods are produced or received.
Tracking: This number follows the batch through storage, movement, and delivery.
Data Capture: Logistics software (like WMS) records details: origin, production/expiry dates, quality tests, and movement.
