Flatbed Trailers for Sale in Kansas City, MO

Name the load before the trailer. Lumber and a shed kit for the back of the lot, sod and retaining-wall block for a grade job, fence posts and gates headed out toward Bates City or Lone Jack — that work rides the tandem decks at the 12,500 end of this rack. A compact tractor, a stack of steel, or a season of hay is a different weight class, and it points you toward the ratings closer to 25,900. Around here the same deck often splits its week — materials for the house project on Saturday, a paying haul on Monday — so rate for the Monday load. And weigh everything that rides at once: a rating has to cover the full load plus the trailer's own steel, not just the heaviest piece. The rack draws from ARC Trailers, PJ Trailers, LoneStar, and ARC Trailers is the deepest stack at 16 decks, so most ratings give you more than one deck to compare.

Take the deck's rating, then look at what's in your driveway. Nothing here loads out light — three-quarter-ton is the floor once a 12,500 deck has weight on it, and the 25,900 end wants a one-ton under the hitch. Electric brakes come with these ratings, so a controller in the cab is part of the rig; the Oak Grove parts counter carries them if your truck came without. Pick the truck for the heaviest trip of the year, not the average one — the deck doesn't care that it ran half-empty last week. Your tow rating is printed in the owner's manual; the trailer's rating is stamped on its VIN plate. If the two land close together, call with both numbers and we'll settle it while you're still in the driveway.

The rack spreads from $6,999 to $21,699 — read that as orientation, not a quote, because length and rating move a deck through the range more than anything else does. About half the decks here sit in the upper stretch of that spread, where the longer, heavier ratings live. If the light end covers your job, buy the light end — the right trailer is the smallest one that does the work, and we'll say so.

Financing and rent-to-own are both handled at this store. Nobody quotes you a monthly figure and stops there — the rate, the number of payments, and what the loan comes to at the end are all on the paper before you sign it. Tags on this rack are cash prices; tax, title work, and the doc fee still get added at the desk. When it's down to one or two decks, call (816) 834-9349 and ask what each one comes to out the door. That's the honest comparison between them.
