Flatbed Trucking in Hawaii: Reliable Hauling for Heavy & Oversized Freight

Not all freight fits neatly inside a box. If you’re moving large equipment, palletized goods, or materials too wide or tall for enclosed trailers, a flatbed truck is your best friend — and in Hawaii, it’s a critical part of the supply chain.

At Preferred Transportation Services, our flatbed trucking fleet serves Oahu’s construction firms, manufacturers, freight forwarders, and local businesses with dependable, flexible transport for oversized and irregular freight.

What Is a Flatbed Truck?

A flatbed truck is a vehicle with a flat, open bed (no sides or roof), ideal for hauling large, heavy, or awkward loads that are difficult to fit inside traditional box trucks or trailers. Flatbeds allow for side and rear loading, making them perfect for forklifts, cranes, and remote job site access.

Best Uses for Flatbed Trucking in Hawaii

1. Construction Materials

We haul lumber, rebar, concrete forms, drywall, and steel for contractors across the island—helping your crews stay on schedule and stocked.

2. Machinery & Equipment

Moving small excavators, generators, compressors, or other heavy-duty equipment? Flatbeds provide the strength and access needed for safe delivery.

3. Crated Freight & Palletized Loads

Pallets of product, oversized crates, or bundles of goods are easily loaded and secured on flatbed trucks, especially when dock access is limited.

4. Retail Fixtures & Business Deliveries

Need to move store shelving, refrigeration units, or custom retail pieces? We deliver to commercial locations with precision and care.
