Flatbed Fits Top Of Pickup Box PICKUPS Miscellaneous 22-6-9 A Minnesota company has come up with a new flatbed for pickups that requires no modification of the pickup to install.
The tilting flatbed fits right over the top of the pickup box. It mounts on a sub-frame that slips inside the box and bolts to the floor of the pickup box with four bolts. A 12-volt winch mounts at the front of the flatbed frame. It slides the flatbed back for loading and unloading and then pulls it up into trans-port position. The bed is rated at a capacity of 1,500 lbs. but the winch is rigged to handle much more than that.
"We designed it for snowmobilers as a way for them to eliminate the need for a trailer. Lets them get into places they couldn't go with a trailer," says Nick Newman, sales manager of Newmans Manufacturing, which designs and builds the new flatbed.
The "Sled Bed", as it's called, is available in 8 and 10-ft. lengths to fit both 6 and 8-ft. wide truck boxes.
Sells for $1,595.
