Flatbed Trailer Suggestions?

Flatbed Trailer Suggestions?

Can anyone suggest a place or tips when looking for a flatbed trailer.

I'm hoping to find something that is

1. Comparable to a standard full size truck bed

2. Can be enclosed with walls and a drop down ramp, similar to the trailers you see at Home Depot

3. Has some kind of suspension so that if you're transporting something large, but somewhat fragile (like a cabinet with glass doors) - it won't break.

Also, I've seen some of these trailers with license plates (larger ones) and some without. Is there a size limit where they need to be registered and have plates?

Does one need a special license once you get beyond a certain size?

Thanks all

You would probably be best off building one, that is providing you are able to. That way you can custom design it to your needs.
