Flatbed Stretch Specifications
Flatbed stretch trailers are mainly used for carrying very long loads that will not fit on a standard flatbed trailer. They are also commonly known as extendable or extended flatbed trailers. These trailers provide extra support for your loads, preventing potentially dangerous overhang.
The limits on permissible overhang vary depending on each state’s vehicle code. Our team knows these regulations inside and out, and will happily assist you in getting any permits you may need. We will also assist you with any inspections your state may require.
The maximum carrying capacity and typical dimensions of a flatbed stretch trailer are below:
Freight Dimensions
| Maximum Trailer Length | 80 ft. |
| Maximum Trailer Width | 8 ft. 6 in. |
| Maximum Legal Freight Height | 8 ft. 6 in. |
| Maximum Freight Weight | 43,000 lbs. |
Potential Uses
Flatbed stretch trailers are perfect for long, non-divisible loads. Many building materials and structures, such as risers, concrete columns, bridge beams, flare stacks, and derricks, are shipped on these trailers daily. Pipes and lumber also wind up on these trailers often.
