A flatbed trailer gives you a clean, open deck with no sides to work around — ideal for loading skid steers, mini excavators, scissor lifts, pallets of building materials, or any load that needs to be driven, forked, or winched on from either end. Because the deck is open and flat, you are not limited by the walls or height of an enclosed trailer, which makes flatbeds the go-to choice for tall, wide, or awkwardly shaped loads.
Contractors hauling machinery to job sites across the Metro East rent our flatbeds daily, and property owners use them to move tractors and implements between properties. If you are specifically moving a skid steer, our skid steer trailer rental page walks through capacity matching and loading, and our broader equipment trailer rentals cover the full lineup.
Rentals are flat daily rates with no mileage fees. You pay for the days you have the trailer, not how far you drive it. Pick it up at our lot at 407 E US Highway 40 in Troy and bring it back when the job is done.
Choosing the Right Flatbed Trailer
The right flatbed depends on the weight and footprint of your load and the capabilities of your towing vehicle. A trailer with plenty of deck length can still be the wrong choice if the loaded weight exceeds its rating, so start with the operating or transport weight of the machine you are moving.
The 22ft flatbed carries up to 13,000 lbs when towed by a 3/4-ton truck, and the 24ft flatbed carries up to 17,000 lbs for larger machinery. Both use a 2 5/16 inch ball hitch and a 7-pin plug, and both require a functioning brake controller. If your load is tall, wide, or awkwardly shaped, the open flatbed is usually the better call than an enclosed or utility trailer.
If drive-on loading without separate ramps matters more than an open deck, consider our tilt deck options on the tilt trailer rental page. The tilt deck lowers toward ground level so you can drive machinery straight on.
Flatbed Trailer Towing Requirements
Every flatbed on this page requires a 2 5/16 inch ball hitch, a 7-pin plug, and a functioning brake controller in your towing vehicle. A 3/4 ton truck or larger is required to reach the full capacity of the 22ft and 24ft flatbeds. Before you book, verify that your vehicle is properly equipped and rated to handle the loaded weight of the trailer plus your machinery.
The trailer's capacity does not override your truck's towing limit. Your setup needs to stay within the limits of both the trailer and the tow vehicle. If your truck is rated lower than the trailer's maximum capacity, you can still rent the trailer — you just need to keep the loaded weight within what your vehicle can safely pull.
Not sure whether your truck is set up to tow? Our towing requirements guide walks you through tow ratings, hitch sizes, plug types, and brake controllers so there are no surprises at pickup. You can also call us at 618-414-9857 and we will help you match a trailer to your vehicle.
