Benefits of Flat Deck Trailers
Flat deck trailers are a type of open trailer, meaning they lack a cover protecting the transported items from the elements. This makes a flatbed trailer a more affordable option since coverings do increase the cost of a trailer. Depending on what you are transporting, the covering could be irrelevant anyway.
When you compare flat deck trailers against other open trailers, you'll see that it offers a lower height. A flatbed trailer will run closer to the ground, which helps make the loading process much easier. It takes less effort to manually load cargo on a lower trailer. Driving a vehicle up onto the trailer is less challenging when the trailer is less high. In some cases, you won't even need a ramp to load. It'll be simple enough to step or roll onto the flatbed trailer. The lower height won't interfere with transporting flat deck trailers. They are still easy to tow, which is especially beneficial for those new to towing.
Finding the Right Flatbed Trailer
Start by identifying your weight requirements. Look at how much your tow vehicle can handle as that will limit the size of flat deck trailers you can buy. Think about the weight of your intended cargo and use that to inform the types of flat deck trailers you consider. Overloading a flatbed trailer could cause damage to the trailer or cause a safety issue.
Then think about what type of hitch you want on your flatbed trailer. Choose between bumper-pull hitches or gooseneck trailers. A bumper pull hitch juts out behind the tow vehicle, which makes a small gap between the vehicle and the trailer. This method is simple and doesn't involve altering your tow vehicle. A gooseneck hitch gets installed directly into your truck bed. It takes more time and money, but it does provide improved stability and control.
