East aluminum flatbeds
Any opinions on east aluminum flatbeds? Is 26k for a 2020 48' too much? Ive heard they have a tendency to develop cracks, I do not want to deal with that.

First flatbed, frame cracks
This trailer is for sale at a dealership, the dealer says they will weld/plate to fix this before the sale. How bad is this and how common? Trailer is a 2019 great Dane flatbed and looks relatively clean other than this. Is this a major red flag or should I still consider it after it's been fixed? What would cause a crack in this area?

I used to pull a reefer and my truck is on the light side, i could load 47k in the reefer and id be right at 80k. I got loaded with a pretty standard load of lumber the other day and it was 500lbs over 80k. Am I carrying too much equipment? Ive added a headache rack, 10 20ft 3/8 chains and binders, 8ft drop lumber tarps 115lbs each, and 16 straps. I feel thats a pretty standard setup right? The trailer im renting is a steel framed 48ft great dane.
