Overview
Large plate, long bar, or oversized pallets may require a flatbed for safe loading/unloading and compliant securement.
How It Works
Rolled Alloys or your freight provider determines the trailer type based on overall length, weight, and loading conditions (dock access, crane/fork capacity). FMCSA cargo‑securement standards apply.
Steps:
- Share exact lengths, bundle counts, and site unloading capabilities.
- Request flatbed service during quoting if needed.
- Confirm receiving equipment (forks/rigging/crew) is ready on arrival.
Helpful Tips
Long bar or plate often rides better on flatbeds to reduce handling damage.
If your site lacks a dock, flatbed plus appropriate unloading equipment can speed delivery and reduce risk.
