ALUMINUM FLATBEDS
Available models include heavy duty flats (200 lb./sf load rating), extra heavy-duty flats (350 lb/sf load rating), dumping, towing, and specialty flats. In the Dumping Aluminum Flats section see our Reversed-Hoist dumping flat with a 17,000 lb. hoist capacity plus a 30,000-pound tow-capacity gooseneck ball factory installed. All TruckCraft flats are made of 100% T6 alloy extrusion in a proven design that gets more strength and rigidity per pound of aluminum than even many steel flatbeds (but at just 60% of the weight). Sizes and capacities are available for pickup trucks, up to 19,500-pound capacity one-tons.
All construction materials are T6 aluminum alloy extrusion with 37,000 PSI minimum tensile strength. The floor is made of plank extrusion that is designed with a tongue-in-groove joint on each plank top, and two crossills every 5″ for rigid reinforcement that will take heavy punishment in stride.
The standard long sills are 4″ high x 2 1/4″ wide structural aluminum channel, with optional 6″ or 7″ longsills available for hoist, or extra heavy duty applications.
Rub rails are a custom shape providing 5 1/2″ side height with extruded ribs for added strength and improved appearance. The rub rails, as well as the front and back rails, have stake pockets cut into the tops. Bed corners are mitered for safety and improved appearance.
Body comes complete with flush mounting 2 1/2″ grommet style LED clearance and marker lights, with wiring harness.
RATING: TC 500 is rated for 200 lbs/SF evenly distributed load. e.g., 96″W X 110″L= 73Sq.Ft. = 14,600lbs rated load.
