Thought about aluminum?

This is where the rubber hits the road.

Take a look at the underside of the Strongback™ aluminum truck flatbed.

T6 aluminum SAE structural cross members every 12 inches.

Highway Products truck flatbeds also come standard with long sills. That's the lengthwise channels running down the middle we supply as standard (seen on left) that you use to space the flatbed above the tires and to mount the truck flatbed to your frame with. Most others don't include this expensive item that you will have to come up with yourself.

They also count the head board as part of the length. You could loose 2-6 inches by counting the headboard as part of the length. Highway Products calls the length as the usable space. No cheating here.

This bush fire truck flatbed has an optional spare tire box on the top and drawers in the side boxes. Order it the way you want it.

 

Our "Bush Fire" firefighter model aluminum truck flatbeds are light weight to allow your trucks to be legal (weight wise) and maybe carry more of the most valuable cargo you have, water.

We have boxes, baskets, drawers, hitches, and more accessories like you see below. Plus, 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 aluminum truck flatbeds.

This aluminum 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 truck 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 aluminum 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 truck flatbed

 

Add custom boxes, skirts, tanks, hitches or what ever it takes to make your truck perform to it's peak.

 

 

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 truck 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 heavy duty 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. Pintle hitch also shown.

 

 

Liz demonstrates a trap door in the back of this aluminum truck 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 range?

Add 50 gallons and more than double your driving range. Hooks up to your factory system.

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.

Steps

Stainless steel toolbox doors - easy to keep clean and looks sharp.

 

Grab handles

Baskets for fittings, tools, etc. All shapes and sizes

Reno Rosser said he was tired of cranking his landing gear so much every time he hooked up to his horse trailer. So, we took some of the work out by designing a vee in the bed. We call it our "Vee Deck"
