I may be buying a 10+ year old single axle hydraulic drop deck trailer like the one pictured. Are there any things unique to these trailers that I need to pay extra attention to? I don't mind having to replace anything normal wear and tear trailer related (wheel bearing, brake shoes etc), or minor/easy stuff (cracking hydraulic hose, battery for pump), but I don't want to buy it, and then find out I have to pay $1,000s to use it because of some unforeseen structural issue, or a critical part made of unobtanium. It will be a few hour's drive, so I only get one chance to inspect and buy. Thank you (in advance to all who help)

Those things are rare. I’ve only seen 1-2 of them ever. I kinda doubt you’ll get many replies with first hand experience here.

Yeah, I know, but I was thinking/hoping that maybe someone on here worked at a rental yard with them, or as a tradesman that used them.
