USED DROPSIDE, SCAFFOLD & FLATBED TRUCKS

Used Dropside, Scaffold & Flatbed Trucks

Dropside, scaffold, and flatbed trucks are types of commercial trucks used for transporting goods and equipment. Here is a brief overview of each type:

1. Dropside Trucks: These trucks have sides that can be lowered or removed to allow easy loading and unloading of goods. They are commonly used for transporting bulky items, such as construction materials, furniture, and equipment.
2. Scaffold Trucks: These trucks are designed to transport scaffolding equipment, such as frames, planks, and braces. They usually have a flatbed or dropside body with built-in racks or compartments for storing the scaffold components securely.
3. Flatbed Trucks: These trucks have a completely flat, open bed without sides or a roof. They are ideal for transporting large, heavy, or irregularly shaped items that cannot be carried in a closed van or container. Flatbed trucks are commonly used in construction, agriculture, and the transportation of oversized items.

These dependable flatbed lorries are available at more reasonable and affordable prices, coupled with lower depreciation costs. Each truck is fully inspected and tested before making its way onto our website and forecourt.

We present an extensive stock of low-mileage automatic and manual flatbed trucks from top manufacturers. We currently have Euro 4 and Euro 5 trucks from 2006 onwards and newer Euro 6-rated flatbed trucks.

There is a flatbed for every job with small 7.5-ton dropside trucks and larger 18 or 26-ton scaffold trucks meeting a wide range of needs.

Flatbed trucks have no side or roof and can be rigid or articulated. They are the ideal choice for abnormal loads or goods that are tall or slightly too long or wide. They do not need to be covered to protect them from the weather. If you need a truck that can be loaded with a crane or forklift, flatbeds make this process extremely easy.

Dropside trucks have no roof but low sides and a back that drops down to allow for easy loading. Dropside lorries are a favourite with builders, builder’s merchants, and businesses operating in the roofing or garden landscaping industries.

Scaffolding lorries have rigid flatbeds for accommodating larger loads. They can incorporate built-in grooves to prevent scaffolding tubes from shifting during transit.

Converting Between Flatbed Trucks Variants

Flatbed trucks and their variations are all built upon the same chassis. Our engineering department can convert these from one type to another. We can also customise your truck by adding a crane, your company’s logo, or painting in your brand colours.
