Flatbed Trailer Buying Guide

While flatbed trailers don’t offer the same level of protection as enclosed trailers, they are generally easier to load and better at transporting bulkier cargo. If you’re interested in purchasing a flatbed trailer for business or personal use, check out this buying guide from the experts at Flat Rock Trailers. 

Weight Requirements

Weight requirements are an important thing to consider when shopping for flatbed trailers. All trailers have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This rating tells you the maximum weight that a trailer can safely handle. Make sure that whichever trailer you purchase has a high enough GVWR to handle the job you have in mind. It’s also important to remember that tow vehicles have a GVWR of their own, meaning that you might not be able to safely haul as much cargo if you purchase a trailer that is too heavy. 

Hitch Type

Most flatbed trailers use either a bumper-pull hitch or a gooseneck hitch. Bumper-pull hitches are popular because they are compatible with a wide variety of different tow vehicles. While gooseneck trailers require that the tow vehicle have a bed (limiting your options to mostly pickup trucks), they also offer a much smoother and easier towing experience. Pick whichever hitch type best fits your needs and current tow vehicle.
