Where this trailer fits
A 40 ft flatbed is a platform: the load is placed from the side or from above and secured by hand rather than tipped, and the 600 mm side walls contain it without closing the deck in. That is the reason it is the most ordered trailer in our range. Two decisions sit behind an order like this one – whether a platform is the right type at all, and how many axles it should run on. The first is set out in flatbed vs skeletal vs fence semi trailer, the second in 3 axle vs 4 axle semi trailer.
On this unit both are already specified: three 13 t FUWA axles under a 40,000 kg payload, 13,000 mm overall length, mechanical leaf spring suspension, 12R22.5 tyres on 12 wheels, JOST C200 landing gear and a dual line air brake with ABS. Suspension, tyre size and paint colour stay configurable. What those choices do to the delivered cost is covered in the semi trailer price guide.
