They are typically equipped with a dry box with tarp on both sides, or a flatbed with changeable ribs supported by a tarp. The tarp itself is common language for plastic coated fabric and is meant to protect whatever is inside from all sorts of weather. Preferably, the flatbed tarp is not used to transport machines and construction tools.

The flatbed typically has no enclosure or doors. Loading and unloading can therefore be easily done from the sides or from above. To shield the cargo, a tarp is placed on the skeleton mounted to the flatbed. It’s a more basic form of a closed box truck but still highly popular due to their flexibility.

To load from the side, the tarp will be pulled to the top and the skeleton will be dismantled.
