Frequently asked questions

Flatbed Truck Hire questions
Should I ask for a 3.5 tonne or 7.5 tonne flatbed?
A compact 3.5 tonne body may suit lighter trade goods, while a 7.5 tonne platform can be considered for larger or heavier work. The usable payload, driver's entitlement and route all need checking for the specific vehicle.
What loads are flatbed trucks commonly used for?
Trade materials, equipment and palletised goods can all be candidates. Tell the team what the item is, how it is packed and how it will be secured before a vehicle is selected.
Can the truck be delivered and collected?
The quote can include a delivery or collection request where the selected truck and journey allow it; confirm this before the hire is agreed.
What driver details are needed for flatbed hire?
The booking discussion should identify who will drive and cover their entitlement, age, experience and insurance. For a larger lorry, operator and tachograph questions may also apply.
What access information should I provide?
The useful details are exact addresses, approach width and height, turning and waiting space, opening times, ground conditions and how the load will be handled.
What do I need before calling for a quote?
Before calling, note where the truck starts and finishes, how long you need it, what it will carry and how the load will be handled. Include driver and handover requirements.
Is dropside van hire the same as flatbed hire?
Not always. Dropsides have sides that lower, while flatbed is a broader description of an open deck. Body details vary, so compare the load and access rather than relying on the label.
Can you confirm flatbed hire prices or daily rates online?
Rates are specific to the vehicle and booking rather than one universal daily figure. Ask the team to price the required dates, route, equipment and delivery or collection arrangement.
Can I ask about tail-lift, HIAB, crane or beavertail options?
Yes. Mention the equipment at the start and explain the load weight, reach or ramp need. Each option depends on a suitable vehicle being available for the dates.
Do clean-air, ULEZ, LEZ, CAZ or DVS rules matter?
Do not assume compliance or a charge from the body type alone. Give the addresses and ask for the proposed vehicle to be checked against the relevant zone and route rules.
Is self-drive flatbed or dropside hire available?
Ask the team about self-drive for your chosen category. Driver entitlement and insurance terms must be checked before availability is confirmed.
