WhatsApp about this trailerAbout this trailer
The flatbed trailer 4m is a longer, wider open deck at 4.0 m by 2.2 m, plated at 2 300 kg gross. The extra width over the 3.0 m unit is what makes it a genuine pallet-and-plant trailer: two standard pallets sit side by side, and a compact machine or a wide load rides square rather than overhanging.
What the flatbed trailer 4m carries
At 2.2 m wide the deck takes loads a 1.8 m trailer cannot: paired pallets, wide steelwork, a small excavator or a stack of sheeting. The open deck loads from any side or by forklift, and with nothing in the way a crane or telehandler can place a load straight down. It is the size builders and plant-hire operators reach for when a load is as much about width as weight.
Build and deck
The floor is a 2.0 mm steel plate on a 76 x 38 x 5 mm open-channel ladder-frame chassis, with the wheels under the trailer to keep the full 2.2 m width clear. It runs twin 1 600 kg leaf-sprung axles, is braked, and is finished in painted 2K Duco, with lashing points for securing loads on the open deck.

Payload, GVM and licensing
Plated at 2 300 kg gross on 1 600 kg axles and braked as standard, this trailer needs a tow vehicle with matching braked towing capacity. The supplier publishes no dependable tare, so we confirm the empty mass and payload in writing before you order. Securing a wide load on an open deck sits with the towing driver under the National Road Traffic Act.
Where it sits in the range
This is the mid flatbed. The 3.0 m flatbed is narrower for tighter loads, while the 6.0 m and 8.0 m units carry longer material at higher plating. For sides on the same deck, see the matching 4.0 m dropside. Compare the range under double-axle cargo trailers.
