    Hey folks, I need some advice on which flatbed trailer is the strongest but yet lite enough that it will allow me to haul heavy loads.... looking at 48x102 or maybe 50x102 spread just not seeing a good choice when browsing the internet, so I thought I'd ask.... thanks in advance

    When I had the shaker and a 48, I could do 51,800. Put me at 79,990, that was with 150 gallons on.
