When a 3.5 tonne flatbed works
For a modest load, consider the smaller flatbed when a narrow approach or awkward handling matters. Confirm usable capacity and how the goods will be secured.
When to ask about a 7.5 tonne flatbed
A larger vehicle may be appropriate if a van cannot carry the goods or provide enough deck. Discuss pallet count, long steel or timber, machinery and site supplies, then check driver and access.
