Search past threads, some guys have talked about making their own out of wood. If you want metal, check with a trailer dealer (especially livestock trailers), Hilsboro makes good steel or aluminum flatbeds. To buy one usually is $600 or more.

flatbed

If it is not a concern use a flatbed with tire humps to keep the center of gravity lower.
