Frequently asked questions about extendable flatbed trailer rental
How far can an extendable flatbed trailer stretch?
Canvec’s extendable flatbed trailers come in two sizes: 48 feet extending to 77 feet, and 53 feet extending to 90 feet. Both run on 4 axles (quad) with air ride suspension. Winches and straps are included, with disc brakes, a toolbox and a headboard available. If your load is tall as well as long, the extendable drop deck trailer goes from 53 to 72 feet with a lower deck.
When should I rent a stretch trailer instead of a standard flatbed?
Choose a stretch trailer when your cargo is too long for a fixed deck, for example wind turbine components, high-rise structures or bridge parts. A standard flatbed trailer rental in 48′ or 53′ lengths, with 2 to 4 axles, handles lumber, steel beams, machinery and other regular-length loads. For tall equipment, a drop deck (step deck) trailer keeps you within road height limits.
Can I rent a platform trailer by the day, week or month?
Yes. Canvec offers short-term flatbed and trailer rental on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, and delivery and pickup service makes renting a flatbed as easy as possible. For longer needs, long-term flatbed leasing runs from 1 to 10 years with equipment maintenance included. A representative will review your situation and recommend the right solution.
How should cargo be secured on a rented flatbed?
Cargo must be securely fastened with straps, chains or other appropriate tie-down equipment, and a tarp can protect some materials from the weather. Canvec’s extendable flatbeds come with winches and straps, and a toolbox and headboard are available. The team can help you select the flatbed trailer that matches your cargo’s dimensions, weight and requirements. Share your load details through the Canvec contact form.
Can I rent a trailer with a liftgate?
Canvec’s extendable flatbeds are not listed with a liftgate, but a liftgate is available on its dry van trailer rentals, pup trailers and reefers. If you want to equip your own vehicle, Canvec’s liftgate department handles liftgate sales, parts and repair. It covers many vehicle types, from pickups and cargo vans to tractor trucks, vans and flatbeds.
