 It depends on the length and weight of the trailer and its axle configuration. However, standard flatbeds typically have a gross vehicle weight rating between  14,000 and 30,000 pounds. 

 A trailer's payload or capacity refers to the cargo weight it can safely carry.. This varies based on the trailer’s size, number of axles, and construction. A trailer’s payload capacity is determined by subtracting the trailer’s weight from the trailer’s gross vehicle weight rating.

 In most U.S. states, the maximum height for freight on a flatbed trailer is 13.5 to 14 feet from the ground. This includes the height of both the trailer and the cargo. Anything exceeding this height will require a special permit, known as an "oversized load" permit.
