Choosing the Best Flatbed Truck Design for Your Construction Company |
Posted: December 15, 2021 |
Construction companies often buy flatbed trucks to haul tools and materials when a basic pickup is too small and a box truck or trailer is overkill. A skirted flatbed might be the best option for those companies, but how do you buy the right truck? Four Factors to Consider When Buying a Construction Company Truck A skirted flatbed offers carrying capacity, secure storage for tools, towing capability, and more. To choose wisely, consider four options: 1. Look for carrying capacity and towing capacity. Evaluate your current and expected needs to make sure the truck in question meets your criteria without offering a great deal of extra capacity. This research may save you from buying too much truck. 2. Consider engine torque and power. Do you want a diesel or gas truck? Diesel is more expensive but offers more torque for towing and potentially lower fuel costs. 3. Interior space and amenities. If you use the cab as a mobile office or take clients around, you may want to spend extra for a comfortable interior with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. If you are just taking yourself and a couple of workers around, a simpler and cheaper cab is a better option. You can save money here without sacrificing anything important. Based on how many people you transport, would that extended cab be useful often, sometimes, or never? 4. Bed design. Consider again how your business would use the truck. A skirted flatbed is great for transporting materials and securely carrying tools. A skirted flatbed offers room for two boxes on each side. Use that storage space for tools, parts, or towing hitch, points for mounting side rails, and back rails for added load security. Of course, if you have a large trailer for a piece of equipment, then you probably need a hauler truck bed and a powerful diesel engine.
