Build and inspection
Final dimensions, installed equipment, route suitability and acceptance records are confirmed for the selected project.
Loading and carrying vehicles
When is full-deck transport appropriate?
Check the disabled vehicle's condition and towing instructions. Full-deck transport may suit vehicles whose wheels should remain off the road during recovery.
Will the vehicle fit during loading as well as on the deck?
Check the tyre positions and restraints through the complete loading path. A vehicle that fits on the parked deck may still need a different loading arrangement.
How do deck payload and winch pull differ?
Deck payload is the carried load. Winch pull describes the pulling duty, so each rating needs its own check. An unloaded deck test demonstrates movement; request the agreed loading records to verify carrying capacity.
Is a wheel lift supplied with the flatbed?
Only if it is listed in the selected equipment schedule. Include any wheel-lift accessories in the packing inventory alongside loose ramps and recovery tools. Give the carrier the completed truck dimensions when agreeing handling.
