What are the features of a 4 tonne flatbed truck?
Northfleet’s 4 tonne flatbed truck has a range of features to ensure your comfort and safety on the road. This 4WD comes with manual and automatic transmission, three seats (including the driver), and ABS brakes. The four cylinder turbo intercooled diesel engine has a capacity of 2000L, ideal for long distance trips. What’s more, you can enjoy your travels with AM/FM radio and USB connection.
Most flatbed trucks range from 14-16 metres long, and 2-3 metres wide. Its flat base allows for simple loading and unloading, and also accommodates awkwardly shaped loads like machinery and other heavy equipment. This means you get versatility and flexibility in one vehicle, perfect for transporting goods across rugged terrain. For heavier loads, we also offer an 8 tonne flatbed to meet your requirements.
What makes a 4 tonne flatbed truck mine spec?
When a 4 tonne flatbed truck is mine spec, it means it comes with safety modifications required by most mine sites. These modifications minimise the risk of workplace accidents and injuries. All of Northfleet’s vehicles are fully mine spec. Since we’ve worked with some of Australia’s biggest mining companies, we know what makes a vehicle safe and sturdy.
The flatbed’s particular mine spec features include a fire extinguisher, flashing beacon, first aid kit, and reflective tape. We’ve also included rollover protection, a reversing beeper, and safety triangles. These features all contribute toward your safety at work.
Can I drive a 4 tonne flatbed truck?
In WA, drivers typically require a Light Rigid (LR) licence to operate a 4 tonne flatbed truck. LR licences are for vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) exceeding 8000 kilograms. If you’re driving the truck yourself, this licence demonstrates that you’re trained to manage large and heavy vehicles. For WA drivers, you’ll need to undergo testing to obtain an LR licence. You can read about more precise licensing requirements on the WA Department of Transport website.
When you hire a vehicle from Northfleet, you also get the option of our wet hire services. We’ll supply a qualified driver for your vehicle and you can sit back and relax. If you’re driving, simply provide a valid driver’s licence for yourself and any additional drivers.
How much does it cost to hire a 4 tonne flatbed truck?
