  • Welcome! Today we're discussing the Three Types of Flatbed Trailers, which is part of our series on "How to Buy the Best Flatbed Trailer." Learn more at: www.utilitykeystone.com/blog/...
    A lot depends on what you want to get out of your trailer. Choosing the right flatbed trailer for you is going to depend on what you're hauling, where you're hauling, and how long you're holding onto the trailer.
    If you're looking for something flashy, maybe an aluminum trailer is the way to go. If you're looking for something to go to work, maybe you're looking at a combo trailer. If you need something heavy-duty, an all-steel trailer could be right for you.
    Today we’ll review each flatbed type to find the one that’s right for you. Some of the questions we’ll ask are:
    • How much does a combo trailer cost?
    • Can I customize my flatbed?
    • What are the different types of flatbed trailers?
    • How much does a flatbed trailer weigh?
    • What is a combo trailer?
    • Aluminum vs. steel flatbed trailer, which is best?

    The actual weights of the trailers would be useful information in a comparison.

    I want J hook track in an Utility Reefer floor. I'm a container hauler presently
    I'm seeing more all galvanized chassis.
    Could that be an option for the combo and all steel flats.

    Can your aluminum MAC trailers hold more weight than the Steel MAC trailer?

    • @UtilityKeystone
      @UtilityKeystone  2 роки тому +4

      Ultimately it comes down to weight of the trailer, tractor and the GVWR. Since steel is heavier than aluminum the short answer is yes. There are certain loads that need to be carried on a Steel trailer due to durability, if you have any additional questions please get in touch with us and we can discuss your specific application and make recommendations.

    How much does a 48foot steel flatbed weigh?

    • @UtilityKeystone
      @UtilityKeystone  2 роки тому +1

      A standard spec Utility with no options is going to weigh 10,500 lbs. As you add options you also add weight so a setup with a tool box, winches and sliding tandem will weigh in around 11,000 lbs.

      ​@@nicolashernandez6418, it all depends on what you're looking for. Are you looking for a steel, aluminum, or combo? Additionally, it all really depends on your application. You can contact Dan directly here: www.utilitykeystone.com/contact-us/?team_member=Dan+Upschulte
      He'd be happy to get more information from you to get you accurate pricing.
      Thanks Nicolas! Our apologies for the delay.
