Size, segmentation, competition, growth and trends underlying the manufacture of flatbed semi trailers in North America
Abstract
Flatbed semi trailers, also known as platform or drop deck semi trailers, are the predominant way for construction materials, such as finished wood, or steel (sheets or spools) to be delivered in large volumes in North America. SpecialtyVehicles.net feels that this market is the fourth largest semi trailer product category, behind dry freight, refrigerated and tank semi trailers.
The manufacture of flatbed semi trailers is a highly fragmented business, with 36 identifiable players spread across the U.S. and Canada. Transcraft, Fontaine and MANAC are manufacturers with multiple production facilities. A key characteristic of this industry is the low degree of customization, with manufacturers building products per the specifications of the customer. Numerous regional manufacturers produce these units for local customers.
This report is a attempt to cohesively research, analyze and put into a structured format, “who is who” in the business of flatbed semi trailer manufacturing on a continental basis.
The report provides a competitive and market analysis of the size and segmentation underlying the manufacture of flatbed semi trailers. Additionally the report seeks to analyze product range differentiators, trends impacting the industry, and future outlook, including key technological innovations. Furthermore, the number of units produced as an aluminum, composite or steel trailer have been broken out.
These and other aspects of this analysis are highlighted in this pioneering report by SpecialtyVehicles.net (“SVN”).
