flatbeds
Trucks without sides
Flatbeds are trucks or trailers with a flat, open cargo area—no sides or roof.
The design allows loading from any angle and carrying oversized items: Flatbeds hauled the wind turbine blades down the highway.
Flatbed also describes a type of scanner or printing press where material lies flat on a horizontal surface.
