Chassis & Structure
Built for Daily Cargo Work
A standard flatbed trailer gives operators an open, practical and efficient loading platform. Cargo can be loaded from the top, sides or rear, making the trailer suitable for mixed freight operations where speed and accessibility are important. With a strong welded I-beam chassis, configurable axle brands and market-specific braking and suspension options, the STU Standard Flatbed Trailer is built to match different route conditions, fleet standards and service networks.
Open Platform for Flexible Loading
The flat, unobstructed deck allows fast loading and unloading of steel, pallets, machinery, timber, construction materials and container-based cargo by specification. This makes the trailer suitable for operators handling different cargo types on the same route network.
Strong Chassis Construction
The welded I-beam mainframe is manufactured from ST52 / S355J2+N high-strength structural steel. The chassis is designed for daily heavy-duty haulage, stable load distribution and long service life under demanding road conditions.
2-Axle and 3-Axle Configurations
The trailer can be configured as a 2-axle or 3-axle flatbed semi-trailer depending on payload requirements, market regulations and operational preferences. The 3-axle configuration is the classic choice for high-volume general freight and 13.60 m platform applications.
Air or Mechanical Suspension
Air suspension is preferred for comfort, cargo protection and stable long-distance performance. Mechanical leaf spring suspension can be selected for markets that prioritise simpler running gear, service familiarity and straightforward maintenance.

Available Configurations
Choose the flatbed configuration that matches your operation.
Extendable Flatbed Option
- • When your cargo is longer than a standard deck allows. The extendable flatbed extends deck length on demand for steel profiles, pipes, timber, precast elements, and long machinery — with self-steering or full hydraulic steering options.
- • Extended Deck on Demand. — Extra deck length when required for long cargo — steel profiles, pipes, timber, precast concrete elements, and long machinery.
- • Self-Steering Last Axle. — Self-steering last axle provides improved turning with lower complexity — the passive system follows cornering forces automatically.
- • Full Hydraulic Steering. — Full hydraulic steering on all three axles delivers maximum maneuverability for tight yards, difficult route geometry, and construction site access.
- • ST52 Steel. Built to Last. — Welded ST52/S355J2+N I-beam chassis construction delivers the structural integrity to handle heavy long loads trip after trip.
Mechanical Suspension Option
- • An alternative to air suspension for markets that prefer simpler running gear and familiar service routines. Leaf spring suspension is road-proven, easy to maintain, and practical for demanding environments where serviceability matters.
- • Leaf Spring Suspension. — Mechanical leaf spring suspension — chosen for simplicity and service familiarity, especially in markets that prioritise straightforward maintenance.
- • Open Platform. Versatile Cargo. — Flat, unobstructed deck for general cargo — steel, pallets, machinery, timber, construction materials, and containers by configuration.
- • ST52 Steel. Built to Last. — Welded ST52/S355J2+N I-beam chassis delivers the structural integrity required for heavy daily haulage on demanding routes.
- • Configurable for Your Market. — Axle brands, brakes, and deck equipment configured to match your service network and cargo requirements.
