StrongBack Aluminum Flat Bed.


 " You choose the truck. We'll build the flatbed on a GMC, Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Freightliner, International or other brand truck. Beyond it's sharp looks, the Strongback™ features all marine grade aluminum construction starting with a frame made of 6" structural T6 extruded aluminum "C" channel side rails.

 

 

Whether you're hauling heavy steel or bales of hay, the Strongback™ flatbed will shoulder your load.



Lightweight aluminum is key to savings: If you think about it, most of the time even the serious users don't have a full load on their truck. If you are using your flatbed for delivery's you are returning empty so you're empty 50% of the time. If you are the moderate user you are empty 75% or more of the time. So, why pay extra to haul a heavy steel flatbed around? True, the aluminum flatbed cost more to start with but you know you will get a little of your money back every time you start your engine, especially with today's fuel prices.

So, spend a little up front and save on fuel, wear and tear on your tires and drive train, get a higher resale value when it's time to sell, there's no paint to scratch, and we look good. But most of all, when you do need to haul something, you can carry more weight with an aluminum flatbed vs. steel flatbeds because you are not so heavy to start with. This may even save you a second trip, which saves you again. However, we know there are times when steel does make more sense. So, if steel is what you require, we make steel truck flatbeds too.

Check out the standard features of our truck flatbeds:
Marine grade aluminum - all welded construction (no rivets that rattle and squeak after time); structural T6 extruded "C" channel side rails, 1/8" diamond plate decking); 4" long sills and cross members on 12" centers, 4" aluminum channel head board and rear tail apron with all required lighting placed in rear apron; Plus rope hooks about every 24 inches.

Lots of options available if you need them:
Styled headboard; tapered rear corners; directional light boxes on headboard; load lights; 30k fifth wheel hitch; goose-neck hitch; concealed hinged cover for hitch area; Class 5 receiver hitch; 7-pin trailer plug; electric brake controller; full-length lighted running boards; removable side rails; removable back rails; 2x4 stake pockets; mud flaps; Air-Ride suspension systems; lumber racks; fuel tanks; winches; LED lights; on-deck and underbody tool boxes; and brush fire truck units. Have something else in mind? Let us know. We have done some pretty wild things to these beds.

We've made them for farmers, ranchers, bee keepers, contractors, electricians, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Government, fire fighters, rodeo cowboys, loggers, long haul truckers, 5th wheelers, tire carriers, portable welders, Hollywood movie makers, steel erectors, to name a few.

Accessory Pictures

As you can see we are big on accessories. We want your flatbed to perform for you which means it has to be durable, user friendly, and organized. With your help we can design and build your truck flatbed that does just that.

 

Lumber racks and tool boxes

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 to the load you are carrying so your truck stays level. Might save you a ticket If you haul a lot.

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, solid 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.

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.

 

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.

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"
