Services

At Long Hood Hauling, we offer excellent flatbed transportation services. Flatbed transportation services provide a versatile solution for transporting oversized and heavy loads that cannot fit in standard enclosed trailers. With open-air platforms, these services enable easy loading and ensure safe delivery of construction materials, machinery, and other bulky items.

Standard Flatbed 

​

A standard flatbed is the most common type of flatbed trailer. They’re generally 48’- 53’ long with a bed that sits at 42’’- 60’’ high. Since trailer and loading dock dimensions can both vary, a standard flatbed can often be adjusted to match dock height. They can typically haul freight that fits the following dimensions: 

• Max weight: 48,000 pounds

• Max length: 48’ or 53’ (depending on trailer length) 

• Max width: 8.5’ 

• Max height: 8.5’

Our knowledgeable Drivers can use straps, chains, steel strapping, synthetic cords or any other Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)-approved tiedowns. In some cases, tarps, dunnage or cribbing (planks used to lift and level) and other methods of securement may be required to ensure your freight travels safely and securely.
