I am looking at pre-owned flatbed trailers, however it's really hard to find one that is decent.

For those who’ve bought used, what should i look for to get a good deal?

@johnnyrogers when shopping for a pre-owned flatbed trailer, it’s crucial to inspect a few key areas. Check the frame and decking for signs of rust or rot, especially around welds and joints, as these can be costly to repair. Look at the suspension, tires, and brakes for wear and tear. Ask for maintenance records if available. What type of loads are you planning to haul?
 
Good points, Ynzo! I’d also check the axles and kingpin for excessive wear coz those can be pricey fixes if overlooked. Have you guys found certain brands hold up better over time? Also, any red flags to watch for when buying from auctions or private sellers?
