New Flatbed Trailers to Move Your Business Forward

At PR Trailers (a division of PR Group), we understand that when it comes to moving freight, efficiency, flexibility, and reliability are everything. That’s why we stock a range of new flatbed trailers designed to handle heavy loads, oversized equipment, and diverse cargo types with the strength and adaptability your business needs.

From construction materials to mining machinery, a flatbed trailer is the workhorse of any serious logistics or transport operation.

What Is a Flatbed Trailer?

A flatbed trailer is an open-deck, platform-style trailer with no roof or sides. This design makes it ideal for transporting:

• Bulk materials

• Oversized equipment

• Machinery and steel products

• Crated freight or pallets

Because there are no height or width restrictions (beyond legal road limits), loading and unloading are fast, easy, and accessible from all sides using forklifts or cranes.

Flatbed Trailer Applications

Flatbeds are the most versatile trailer type on the road. They’re commonly used across:

• Construction & Infrastructure – transporting rebar, scaffolding, cement panels, beams, and other bulky materials

• Agriculture – for moving tractors, planters, irrigation systems, and bagged feed

• Mining – ideal for conveyors, buckets, and heavy mining gear

• Manufacturing – carrying crates goods, steel sheets, or prefabricated components

• General Freight – for containerised or secured loads where flexibility is key

If your operation involves loading with a crane or moving unpalletised goods, a flatbed is essential.

Benefits of New Flatbed Trailers

Investing in a new flatbed trailer from PR Trailers gives your business long-term advantages:
