Flatbed Trailer hire - frequently asked questions

What can I carry on a flatbed trailer?

Flatbed trailers are ideal for lumber, building materials, machinery, ATVs, motorcycles, and any oversized load that does not fit in a box trailer. The open design means no height restriction.

What size flatbed trailer do I need?

Common UK sizes are 6x4 ft for garden waste and light loads, 8x5 ft for general DIY, and 10x6 ft or larger for plant machinery and vehicles. Most hire companies stock multiple sizes.

Do I need a special licence to tow a flatbed trailer?

For trailers up to 3,500 kg gross weight, a standard UK car licence (category B) is sufficient as long as your vehicle and trailer combined do not exceed 3,500 kg. Heavier combinations require a BE licence.
