Extendable Flatbed Semi-Trailer | The Ultimate Platform for Diverse & Oversized Cargo
Detailed Description:
Modular Dimensions & Strength: Standard lengths from 40ft to 60ft, with the ability to extend via insert beams. The crossmembers are spaced at 300mm intervals and welded to the main beams with 100% penetration welds, creating a platform capable of supporting concentrated loads of up to 30 tons.
Maximized Cargo Versatility: The flat, unobstructed deck is ideal for shipping lumber, steel coils, pre-cast concrete elements, and machinery. Stake pockets and D-rings are standard throughout, providing limitless tie-down configurations.
Operational Efficiency & Durability: The trailer is fitted with a BPW or SAF axle suspension, which offers a perfect balance between load stability and ride comfort. The entire structure is shot-blasted and painted with a 3-coat epoxy system for superior corrosion resistance.
Global Logistics Integration: Designed to meet the dimensional and weight regulations of key markets like Europe, the Middle East, and Australia, making it a go-to solution for international freight forwarders and construction firms.
Global Applications: Building material supply chains, manufacturing equipment transport, and as a backbone for general freight and project cargo logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can this flatbed semi-trailer carry?
Containers, steel coils and sections, timber, machinery and general cargo. The flat deck with side stakes gives you a versatile platform, which is why flatbed and fence trailers are the workhorses of most mixed freight fleets.
What is the deck height and payload?
This 5-axle unit is rated for 50T. The deck height is kept low to reduce loading effort, and the floor is built from hardwood or steel plate depending on the cargo you handle.
Do the side walls come off?
On fence and stake trailers the side panels are removable, so the trailer converts to a flat platform for oversized cargo. This is the main reason fleets choose a fence trailer over a fixed-sided trailer.
Is it suitable for livestock and grain?
Yes — with the fence sides fitted, this trailer handles livestock, grain and bulk agricultural cargo. Tell us your cargo mix and we will specify the side height and floor material accordingly.
What braking and suspension are fitted?
Dual-line air brakes with ABS and a heavy-duty suspension rated to the payload. Air suspension is available where road conditions or cargo value justify it.
