An articulated flatbed trailer is quite literally as the name suggests, an entirely flat, level ‘bed’ with no sides or roof. This permits for fast and simple loading and unloading of products, and consequently, they’re used to transporting large and heavy loads that are not delicate or susceptible to rain. For the transport of abnormal loads, flatbed trucks are ideal for those loads that require more space that is available on a closed body trailer.
Chris Bennett (Heavy Haulage) Ltd operates a varied fleet of trucks which can provide for all your haulage requirements, but the workhorses of the fleet are the Volvo FH tractor units which pull our 45ft flatbed trailers. These trailers are fully equipped with all the necessary equipment to transport your goods safely and securely to its destination and can carry upto 27.5 tonnes. All our drivers are experienced in sheeting and securing loads, ensuring that you don’t need to worry about your cargo. We cover the whole of the UK and can provide a first class service from every corner of the country.
For those longer loads, we can provide extendable flatbeds of upto 98 feet (29.7 metres).
Our drivers have completed Crossrail and Tideway induction courses and as a company we hold a Transport for London FORS Silver accreditation, meaning that we are your ideal provider of transport to the main construction contracts in London.
