Why Buy a Flatbed Trailer?

Flatbed trailers are open to the air instead of enclosed, and this means that they’re less expensive and lighter in weight. It also means there’s no height limit on what you can haul. You can carry all kinds of cargo with a flatbed, from boxes to furnishings to power tools to machinery to a whole vehicle.

Flatbeds are built so that they are lower to the ground, which makes them much easier to load as well. You may not even need a ramp to get your cargo on board! This means less labor is necessary and less time is wasted trying to load your trailer.

Shopping Considerations

When you begin shopping for a flatbed trailer, you’ll need to think carefully about weight requirements. Your towing vehicle will have a weight limit when it comes to towing and the trailer also has a weight limit of how much you can haul within it. Make sure that you buy a trailer that can handle the weight of your cargo without overburdening your towing vehicle. An overweight trailer can lead to tire blowouts and serious damage to your towing vehicle and trailer.

You’ll also need to choose between hitching styles. Your main options are gooseneck and bumper-pull hitches. Gooseneck hitches extend up and over the rear gate of your truck. They require a special coupling to install into the truck bed and they tend to be more stable and easier for the driver to control. Bumper-pull hitches create a small gap between the towing vehicle and trailer. They can be towed by virtually any type of towing vehicle and they are very easy to connect.
