FlatBed Truck

Originally designed to serve the load carrying requirements of the Trisled factory, the FlatBed Truck is a high-bulk load carrier. We use one of these for getting around our local industrial estate, transporting frames and fairings to our powder-coating and painting contractors, or picking up steel and other oversized materials.

The FlatBed Truck is far more convenient than carting large items to and from a car or van. With this maneuverable vehicle, you can simple roll straight in and out of your business or factory. It even serves as a handy rolling work bench for working outside on sunny days!

The FlatBed Truck is also incredibly easy to store. Just flip it up on its end when not in use, and use the rear rolling wheels to move it against a wall or into a small space. The rolling wheels also serve as a back bump stop.

To demonstrate its superior load capacity, Trisled supporter Chris Mosley (Moz) took our FlatBed Truck to Commuter Cycle's load bike competition in early 2009. The FlatBed Truck won the competition, holding 11 people plus Moz (pictured)!
