    Flatbed Trailer Tyres

Role of Flatbed Trailer in the industry

A flatbed trailer is a multi-purpose transport platform used throughout Agriculture and wider Transportation sectors for moving machinery, bulk goods and oversized materials. Its open deck supports side and rear loading, enabling efficient handling of irregular or heavy freight. Because trailers operate under variable payloads and transition between paved and semi-compacted surfaces, tyres such as the RG30 provide the required load stability, consistent rolling performance and reliable tracking during regional or agricultural haulage.

Types of Tyres Used in these Machines

Trailers equipped with Flatbed trailer tyres must function in diverse operating conditions, from farm access routes to regional road networks. Tyres require constructions that balance load-bearing strength with predictable handling on mixed surfaces typical of Agriculture and Transportation workflows, allowing smooth transitions between fields, yards and public roads while maintaining structural integrity under shifting cargo weights.

Tyre Requirements for Reliable Performance

Tyres for flatbed trailers must offer high load capacity with uniform pressure distribution to ensure stable movement at speed and prevent irregular wear patterns. A reinforced casing is essential to withstand lateral scrub during tight manoeuvres, while tread compounds must control heat build-up under continuous transport. Consistent grip, low rolling resistance and resistance to cuts or punctures are critical to supporting uninterrupted and safe trailer operation across varying terrains.

Still have questions? Check the FAQs below or connect with one of our specialists.

What machine type is a flatbed trailer and how is it used?

A flatbed trailer is a semi-trailer with an open platform and no sides or roof, ideal for transporting machinery, steel, lumber and bulky loads across road networks.

What are the typical operating conditions for tyres on a flatbed trailer?

Flatbed trailers run on highways and regional routes, carrying variable cargo weights, encountering surface changes and requiring tyres with durable compounds, consistent pressure handling and high controllability.

Which tyre sizes are listed as suitable for flatbed trailer applications?

Examples of suitable sizes include 215/75 R17.5, 245/70 R17.5 and 285/70 R19.5, designed to support flatbed trailer loadings while ensuring rim compatibility and stable performance.

What tyre performance attributes matter most for flatbed trailers to maintain uptime?

Key attributes include high payload capacity, long tread life, damage resistance, reliable traction in varying weather and tyre construction tuned for heavy loads and frequent loading/unloading cycles.
