    Anyone pulled or pulling an east flatbed? Found a really good deal on a 2014 53x102 flatbed rear axle slide front axle lift. Not familiar with this brand I have only pulled great danes and manac flats.

    I think that’s an aluminum trailer, before buying give it a very close inspection on all of the frame welds on the underside. Look for cracks, and bent or twisted rails, cross members, and supports.

    Also check the camber of the deck. And check tracking on a road test too. You don’t want to be buying someone else’s problems.

    East is a very good brand, but these problems are true of all aluminum flatbeds. Aluminum is more brittle than steel, and is less forgiving than steel construction for abuse.
