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. |

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. |

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" |
