I just purchased a shelving unit off eBay and tried to put it in myself and I ended up calling these guys and they said they could install the shelf and they asked me to come in right away! I'm still in amazement. Highly recommended company.
- Luke R (Google Review) 10 years ago I got my first service van painted by these guys. The professionalism and top-notch quality that they performed help set our business apart from my competitors. I recently just went back and had that same van stripped of the graphics, buffed out the paint a little bit, reapplied graphics and it looks like brand new again. These guys are super professional, honest and stand behind their work.Thank you Troy and Kent!

Frequently Asked Questions
Flatbed Upfitting FAQs
What Is a Flatbed?
A flatbed truck features a level, open platform with no sides or roof, making it ideal for oversized or irregular cargo that requires side or top access. Due to this ability to handle diverse items, many businesses invest in them.
The only downside is that a flatbed truck body lacks protection from weather elements, which you could solve by covering the materials in transit with tarps. Flatbed trucks are common in construction, agriculture, and logistics industries, where versatile transport solutions are crucial.
How Do You Customize a Flatbed Trailer?
Customizing a flatbed trailer involves changing its structure and features to suit transport demands better. Upgrades include integrating toolboxes, racks, and side rails for improved storage and organization of various types of cargo.
For durability and safety, you can reinforce the deck with more substantial materials or coat it with specialized anti-slip surfaces. Some have the trailer length, width, and height adjusted to accommodate uniquely shaped loads.
All modifications aim to maximize the vehicle’s functionality and meet industry requirements. At PTC, we help design and install flatbed trailer upgrades tailored to your operation.
How Do Flatbeds Benefit Your Business?
Flatbeds handle the transport of items that standard enclosed trucks can’t accommodate. They help businesses carry on with their operations without delay or limitations. Customization options can further upgrade flatbeds. Ultimately, these trucks provide the flexibility, reliability, and capacity to fulfill even the most complex haulage tasks.
