About this Flatbed Semi-Trailer
Our flatbed semi-trailer pairs a high-strength steel chassis with a low deck height, making container and bulk loading fast and stable on rough roads. Built in Liangshan — China's trailer manufacturing hub — every unit is engineered to meet the road, dimension and axle-load regulations of your destination country, so it is legal to register and operate on local highways.
Optional twist locks and an extendable deck adapt it to containers, pipes and long loads without changing the trailer.
Other Common Sizes & Configurations
Beyond the 13 m 3-axle standard, we build these flatbed variants to match different cargo and local road rules — all sizes, axle counts and capacities listed above are configurable to your specification:

How the Flatbed Compares
Not sure which trailer type fits your cargo? Here is how the flatbed differs from close alternatives.
vs Lowbed Semi-Trailer
Flatbed keeps a high flat deck (1.2–1.55 m) for standard cargo; the Lowbed Semi-Trailer drops the deck to ≤1,150 mm (and can be wider, up to 3,000 mm) to carry oversized or over-height machinery.
vs Skeletal Semi-Trailer
Flatbed has a full deck for loose cargo and equipment; the Skeletal Semi-Trailer is frame-only with twist locks — lighter, built purely for ISO containers, with no flat platform.
vs Fence Semi-Trailer
Flatbed has no side rails and relies on strapping; the Fence Semi-Trailer adds removable stake rails for ventilated, side-accessible bulk loads.
