Used Equipment & Flatbed Trailers — what to check

Used equipment and flatbed trailers get worked hard, so the frame is everything: sight down the rails for a bow or twist, inspect welds at the neck and crossmembers for cracks or repairs, and check the deck (wood or steel) for rot and heavy gouging. Confirm both/all axles brake, the ramps or dovetail are straight, and the tires are rated for the GVWR. Pintle vs. ball — match your truck.
