Flatbed Equipment Solutions
• Weight – The heavier the trailer, the less cargo it can carry. Lighter flatbed trailers mean
additional carrying capacity when loads are too heavy for a standard van.
• Oversize loads – Echo not only helps clients transport oversized shipments, but also can help
with permitting and escort vehicles to accompany large loads.
• No dock delivery – With a lower drop deck and side loading/unloading access, flatbed trailers
don't require docking upon delivery. This helps unload bulky equipment and creates simpler
unloading at active locations such as jobsites.
• Options – Echo offers a variety of flatbed sizes, including hotshot, ranging in size from 24' to
40'. Unlike vans, 48' is standard for flatbeds, scaling up to 48,000 lbs. 53' specialized flatbeds
scale up to 46,500 lbs.
