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 |
Hide-away 2- 5/16" Goose neck hitch - mounted on 1/2" steel plate w/ super strong safety chain D-rings |
LED Lights - trailer plugs |
5th wheel hitches up to 30k- removable |
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. |
