A platform truck, also known as a platform truck body, flatbed truck, flatbed truck body, or stake body truck, is a commercial vocational vehicle designed to transport equipment, building materials, palletized freight, pipe, lumber, machinery, and other cargo that does not require an enclosed body. Built by combining a commercial cab and chassis with an open platform body or stake body, these trucks provide exceptional loading flexibility for construction, utilities, municipalities, public works departments, contractors, and government fleet operations. CTI supplies complete platform truck solutions by pairing premium truck bodies with industry-leading commercial chassis platforms.

Selecting the right platform truck depends on the type of cargo being transported, payload requirements, loading methods, operating environment, and desired body configuration. Whether you're specifying a flatbed truck for equipment transport, a stake body truck for municipal operations, or a platform truck body for construction materials, important considerations include body length, deck construction, removable stake racks, cargo securement options, liftgates, towing requirements, and available factory-installed features. CTI works with customers to evaluate operational requirements and recommend complete vocational truck solutions that maximize productivity, durability, and long-term fleet performance.

Platform truck solutions are available in a variety of configurations designed to support virtually every vocational transportation requirement. Available solutions include platform truck bodies, flatbed truck bodies, stake body trucks, contractor truck bodies, municipal truck platforms, utility truck bodies, and heavy-duty vocational truck bodies engineered for hauling equipment, palletized materials, building supplies, pipe, lumber, machinery, and other weather-resistant cargo. CTI represents several of North America's leading manufacturers, helping customers identify the platform truck solution that best aligns with their operational requirements, fleet objectives, and procurement needs.
