3 Benefits of Our Flatbed Trailers for Hay Hauling

1. Streamlined Efficiency

Our flatbed trailers for hay hauling feature open decks without sides or a roof, providing unobstructed access to the entire trailer.—which means easier loading and unloading from any side.

The flat surface of the trailer supports various stacking arrangements, ensuring stability. This flexibility is crucial, as hay bales come in different sizes and shapes, and you need the ability to handle diverse loads effectively.

2. Versatile Loading Methods

We’ve already listed a few advantages of the open deck design of a flatbed trailer. It minimizes the need for extensive maneuvering to get to the hay. This gives you the freedom to select from various loading methods including:

Crane loading
Forklift loading
Manual loading

When you have efficient loading times, it means your trailer spends less time in loading docks–meaning you have time to make more frequent trips if needed. The result is a higher productivity that inspires confidence.

3. Enhanced Safety

You are responsible for your load. Safely securing your hay for transportation is vital, as hay can shift and bales can fall during transit.

Fortunately, our flatbed trailers are equipped with the straps and tie-downs you need. You can have confidence that you’ll have what you need to help prevent accidents and reduce the likelihood of losing your product in transport. We’ve made it easy to attach hay tarps for flatbed trailers, and with multiple flatbed trailer tie-down options, you can rest assured that you can get what you need to haul safely.

The Extra Mile: Confidence After the Sale

We’ve clearly demonstrated how you can have confidence that a flatbed hay bale trailer will be a wise choice, helping ensure safety, easy loading and streamlined efficiency. We have a large inventory of new and used models, and our robust financing means your trailer is within easy reach.

And for most retailers, that’s where the story ends.

But that’s not the case with Pinnacle Trailers.

You see, we believe in helping you reach your goals—and that means providing support and service long after the sale. That means:

Free inspections for the life of your trailer
Easy, hassle-free delivery
Outstanding warranty work
Streamlined customization

How Many Hay Bales Can You Haul on a Flatbed Trailer?

There’s a lot of variety in the size and shape of bales, so there’s not just one answer. You have to take into account the shape of the bales and the trailer’s size. But you must also take into account several other factors–including how many bales you’ll be able to haul safely.

That being said, here are some general guidelines. A full-sized flatbed trailer can hold roughly:

A little over 400 square bales sized 14″ x 18″ x 36″
Thirty-two 3 ‘x 3 ‘x 8’ square bales
Eighteen round bales sized 4′ x 5′ x 5′
