Flatbed Trailer Rental in McKinney, TX
Need an open deck for lumber, equipment, a mower, or a vehicle that should not go in an enclosed box? AMD Trailer Rental offers flatbed-style and open-deck trailer rentals in McKinney, Texas, including utility decks and car-hauler decks.
Searchers often say “flatbed” when they mean an open floor with tie-downs and a ramp or dovetail. We match the cargo to a listed utility or car-hauler unit instead of inventing a class that is not on the lot.
Tell us what you need to haul, and our team will help you identify an appropriate open deck and review the towing requirements before pickup.

Why Rent an Open-Deck Trailer?
An open deck is the right class when the load can take weather and you want strap access from every side. It is not a dump trailer and it is not a lockable enclosed box.
Skip an open deck when the cargo is furniture, a show motorcycle, or tools you do not want visible. Use a dump trailer when the load has to slide off at a landfill.
Customers in McKinney commonly use this class for:
- Lumber, pipe, and building materials
- Mowers and landscape equipment
- Pallets you will tarp yourself
- Vehicles that need a low load angle
- Contractor equipment that should stay accessible
- Loads that do not need walls
If the cargo should stay covered, see enclosed trailer rental in McKinney. If it has to dump, see dump trailer rental in McKinney.

Help With Tow Vehicle Compatibility
The team can help identify hitch, electrical connection, brake-controller, and towing-capacity requirements. You remain responsible for confirming the vehicle manufacturer’s limits.
What Do I Need to Rent an Open-Deck Trailer?
Rental requirements depend on the selected trailer and the company’s current policies. Before pickup, customers may need to provide or confirm:
- A valid driver’s license
- Current proof of insurance, if applicable
- An accepted form of payment
- A vehicle with sufficient towing capacity
- The correct receiver and hitch-ball size
- A compatible trailer electrical connection
- A working brake controller when required
- Acceptance of the rental agreement
The combined weight of the trailer and cargo must remain within the tow vehicle’s rated limits. Consult the vehicle owner’s manual or manufacturer when towing capacity is uncertain. Details are also on the frequently asked questions page.
Safety notice: Never select a trailer based only on available cargo space. Trailer weight, cargo weight, payload limits, tongue weight, hitch ratings, and tow vehicle capacity must all be considered.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flatbed Trailer Rentals
Do you rent flatbed trailers in McKinney?
We rent open decks—utility and car-hauler classes—from the McKinney yard. Call with the cargo length and weight so we can match a listed unit.
How much does an open-deck rental cost in McKinney?
Current listed rates include $80 / $475 for the 14-foot Lamar utility, $90 / $550 for the 16-foot utility, and $110 / $600 for the 20-foot PJ car hauler (daily / weekly). Confirm the total for your dates.
Is a utility trailer the same as a flatbed?
Often that is what people mean. Some utilities have low sides. If you need zero sides, say “open deck” when you book.
When should I choose a car hauler instead of a utility?
Choose a car-hauler deck when the cargo rolls on wheels and needs a gentler ramp or dovetail. A short utility ramp can be too steep for a low vehicle.
Can I take the trailer to Dallas or Frisco?
Yes, if the reservation covers the trip. Return it to the McKinney or Allen yard listed on the ticket.
What hitch do I need?
The 14-foot and 16-foot utilities list a 2-inch ball. The 20-foot PJ car hauler lists a 2 5/16 inch hitch. Confirm the coupler on the reserved unit.
Do I need a brake controller?
Larger decks with electric brakes may require a compatible brake controller. The 20-foot PJ listing includes tandem brake axles. Confirm the requirement for the specific trailer.
Is an open deck a dump trailer?
No. If the load has to slide off at a landfill, reserve a dump trailer instead of an open deck.
Can I rent an open deck for a weekend?
Weekend rentals may be available. Longer decks are often reserved early for Saturday jobs.
How early should I reserve?
Reserve as early as possible for weekends, holidays, and 20-foot decks. Availability can change quickly.
