Our Flatbed Trucks

Compare practical 3.5 tonne and 7.5 tonne flatbed, dropside and adjacent commercial truck options for trade deliveries, materials, machinery and planned site work. Exact vehicle model, payload, body style and driver requirements are confirmed when you request a quote.

3.5 tonne flatbed dropside truck

3.5 Tonne Flatbed Dropside

Available

Open load bed with drop sides for pallets, timber, scaffold boards, landscaping materials and trade supplies where access is tight.

Ask about payload, bed length, side loading and load restraint.

3.5 tonne tipper transit truck

3.5 Tonne Tipper Transit

Available

Useful for loose landscaping materials, rubble, soil and small site clearance work when tipping ability is more important than an enclosed body.

Confirm loose material type, tipping space and site access.

7.5 tonne dropside flatbed truck

7.5 Tonne Dropside Flatbed

Check terms

Heavier dropside option for multiple pallets, machinery, steel, scaffolding, fencing, event equipment and larger merchant deliveries.

Driver entitlement, operator position and loading equipment must be checked.

7.5 tonne box truck with tail lift

7.5 Tonne Box Truck With Tail Lift

Check terms

A protected alternative when the load needs an enclosed body and tail lift rather than an open flatbed.

Useful fallback for palletised goods or weather-sensitive equipment.

7.5 Tonne Curtainside Truck

Check terms

Side-access vehicle for pallet freight, trade stock and commercial goods where forklift access is available.

Frequently asked questions

Flatbed Truck Hire questions
Should I ask for a 3.5 tonne or 7.5 tonne flatbed?
Start with the load weight, dimensions, loading method and access. A 3.5 tonne flatbed can work for smaller trade loads and tighter streets, while a 7.5 tonne dropside is usually discussed for heavier pallets, longer materials, machinery or larger site supply runs. Driver entitlement and operator requirements also need checking for larger vehicles.
What loads are flatbed trucks commonly used for?
Common flatbed loads include pallets, scaffolding, timber, steel, landscaping materials, machinery, fencing, site supplies, plant tools and builders' merchant deliveries. The team will still check whether an open bed, dropside, tipper, box body or curtainside vehicle is the best fit.
Can the truck be delivered and collected?
Delivery and collection can be discussed during the quote call, but they depend on vehicle availability, route, access, safe standing space and the agreed hire terms. The page does not claim a local branch or depot.
What driver details are needed for flatbed hire?
The booking team will need to check the driver, licence category, age, experience, insurance position and whether the hire involves any operator requirement. A 7.5 tonne vehicle needs more careful checks than many 3.5 tonne options.
What access information should I provide?
Provide the collection and delivery addresses, loading point, turning space, height or width restrictions, forklift or crane availability, site opening times, waiting limits and whether the load is loose, palletised or awkward to secure.
What do I need before calling for a quote?
Have the hire dates, route, load description, approximate weight, dimensions, loading method, driver details, delivery or collection needs and any timing restrictions ready. That allows the team to check the right flatbed or dropside category before confirming price and terms.
