flatbed truck
Open cargo vehicle
A flatbed truck is a truck with a flat, open cargo area instead of an enclosed bed or trailer.
The platform has no sides or roof, making it useful for hauling large, heavy, or irregularly shaped loads—construction materials, machinery, vehicles.
Items are typically secured with straps or chains: They loaded the bulldozer onto a flatbed truck.
