In today’s highly competitive market, it is essential for transport companies to deliver efficient services. A key component of any transport solution is the flatbed that carries the payload. There are many products and solutions available, but with an aluminium lightweight flatbed, you are assured advantages in terms of weight, maintenance and flexible design.

Aluminium lightweight flatbeds compared to traditional truck bodies

An aluminium flatbed has a significantly lower weight than traditional bodywork, making loading and unloading more efficient. Since aluminium weighs only around one third of steel (2.7 g/cm³), an aluminium lightweight flatbed also reduces energy consumption during transport — resulting in clear cost savings.

Truck maintenance can be both costly and time-consuming. With natural anodised surfaces, aluminium is well protected against corrosion, reducing maintenance requirements and associated costs.

With a lightweight flatbed built from natural anodised aluminium profiles from Hydal Transportsystemer, you get a flatbed designed to withstand the most demanding conditions.

What type of load can an aluminium lightweight flatbed handle?
Depending on configuration, an aluminium flatbed can handle everything from sand and gravel transport to general cargo. A flatbed equipped with a tail lift also allows for simple and efficient loading and unloading.

We categorise our lightweight flatbeds based on the vehicle’s payload capacity:

• Total weight up to 8 tonnes

• Total weight between 6–12 tonnes

• Total weight between 10–25 tonnes

How easy is it to order an aluminium lightweight flatbed?
Ordering an aluminium lightweight flatbed is a straightforward process that starts with identifying the type of flatbed you need — based on the cargo you will be transporting.

With a wide range of unique profiles organised into a complete system, you have extensive configuration options so your flatbed can be tailored to your requirements. Do you need a specific floor surface? Slide-out solutions for tailboards or sideboards? The possibilities are extensive.
