Used Flatbed Truck Buyers Guide

Buying a used flatbed truck is no different from buying any other type of heavy equipment: The more research you do beforehand, the more likely you will be to make an informed purchase that will deliver years of reliable service. Three key things you should consider when shopping any selection of used flatbed trucks for sale include:

• Load capacity: Ultimately, if a flatbed truck isn’t able to safely carry the load you require, it won’t be any use to you. Load capacity is one area in which you definitely want to get the most truck for your money. The importance of the bed’s length and width should be obvious. Maximum weight is a consideration if you plan on carrying heavy machinery. For heavy loads, more axles distribute weight better, making it safer to travel long distances.
• Features and accessories: The specifics of your application will determine which features and accessories are most important to you. As with standard passenger vehicles, options such as air conditioning and automatic transmission tend to drive up resale values. There’s also work-related accessories such as toolboxes, tow packages, inverters and more.
