Our "Hot shot" firefighter
model aluminum flatbeds have boxes, baskets, and or we build to your specifications.
We also work with several fire-fighter equipment manufacturers to build
these units to fit your needs. Ask our sales staff for details about our
flatbeds.
This
truck flatbed was custom built for a bee-keeper. He wanted lots of tie
downs.
At Highway
Products we don't just supply you with a flatbed body. We can equip your
flatbed so it's ready to go when you get it.
This
customer wanted to carry horses. We added a 500 gallon water tank and
a cab overhang for a couple bales of hay.
This truck flatbed
was custom built to carry tires. Notice the beefy uprights to support a
lift gate.
Accessory Pictures
As you can
see we are big on accessories. We want your truck flatbed to perform for you
which means it must be durable, user friendly, and organized. With your help
we can design and build your truck flatbed that does just that.
The "Contractor" aluminum flatbed
Fuel filler located
above bed for easy, fast, fill - Standard equipment
Polished stainless
steel side rails - for the man that
wants extra.
Air- ride hitches -
smooth ride- easier on your trailer.
Receiver
hitches
Air-ride suspensions
- front and rear 2x2 & 4x4
A nice feature about
air- ride, aside from the smooth ride you get, is it automatically adjusts
your truck suspension to the load you are carrying. So your truck doesn't
sag in the rear. Might save you a ticket.
Rope
eye-hooks every 24"- standard equipment
Aluminum
diamond plate side rails
Load control is always
a problem with flatbeds. With our eye-hooks as standard equipment you
can use rope or add a clevis and use the hook style winch-straps for easy,
medium duty tie down.
Running boards come
with or without lights and can be made of shinny, mirror finish stainless
steel, diamond plate aluminum, painted steel, or any combination. Shown
are stainless steel w/ aluminum diamond plate overlays for better grip.
Nice.
If you
need heady tie-down equipment. Strap winch's are an easy add-on with
our six inch structural channel. Simply drill and bolt. With a welded
cross member every 12 inches you can tighten the winch-straps without
fear of tweaking the side rails. No rivets to pop or stretch. Pinto
hitch also shown.
Liz demonstrates a trap door
in the back of this flatbed to store fire hoses. This unique option could be
used for anything 4" high x 20" wide x length of the flatbed. In this
case a 9 foot long flatbed gives you an easy 8 foot of storage length.
Need
extra fuel?
We don't make fuel
tanks so we went to the experts that do. "Transfer
Flow" designed a 50 gallon system for us that hooks up with
the factory tank we really like. And it more than doubles your driving
range. We stock and install them at our factory.
Note:
The old style "gravity fill" auxiliary tanks cause havoc with
the computerized tanks in newer trucks. The gravity feed systems keep
the tank full for so long the computer thinks something is wrong and error
messages start flying, disabling your fuel gauge. So beware.

Ready
for a Quote?
When
you ask us for a quote on your Highway Products aluminum flatbed,
we do not include the headboard as part of the length of your flatbed.
In other words, if you order a 9 foot flatbed, you can carry something 9 foot
long on it and not hang over the back. The headboard will add another 5 inches
to the length. Beware, most manufactures quote their flatbeds length including
the headboard. We don't want you to have any surprises.
