The flatbed trailers are used for carrying containers mostly. A shipping container is a container with strength suitable to withstand shipment, storage, and handling.

Misc. Building Materials
Building materials can consist of materials as common as lumber or scaffolding, but also include a wide variety of materials that builders require such as concrete, brick, steel beams, and rods, even materials of odd shapes that are pre-fabricated. A flatbed trailer is not only most common type of transportation for a load like this, but it is also the most practical because the heavy materials can be loaded and unloaded by hand or by crane from any direction. With the use of trusses, materials also have the ability to hang over the edge of the flatbed, some of which wouldn’t fit inside an enclosed box trailer.
Removal of Scrap Metal
Construction companies and builders often hire a service to pick-up and remove scrap metal from the job site, where the haulers then take it to a scrap metal recycling facility where it is sold and repurposed or purchased by another company. The ease of loading and unloading, and sometimes the ability to dump, makes flatbed trailers ideal for this task.
Equipment Hauling
Tractors and farm equipment, and military equipment such as tanks and Humvees are often transported on flatbeds as a safer alternative to driving the equipment on the road to its destination. Parts of planes or other large machinery can also be transported on a flatbed to be delivered.
