Bed Types

Aluminum Flatbeds

Custom aluminum flatbeds for pickups, cab-chassis trucks and cab-overs — designed and built in Orange, California since 1978.

Built to your truck

A flatbed that outlasts the truck

An Alumbody aluminum flatbed replaces your factory box — or an old steel-and-wood deck — with a flat, full-width platform built from high strength 6000 series aluminum. It's significantly lighter than steel, it won't rust, and every bed is measured to the truck it goes on.

Choose the gates that match how you load — fold down or lift out — then add tool boxes, a liftgate, racks, tie-downs, a hitch and a factory or dock style bumper. Need tall removable sides? See our aluminum stake beds.

8,000 lb distributed floor load rating
22" fold down gates, 30"–41" lift out gates, or no gates
Installed in Orange, CA or shipped nationwide

Aluminum vs. steel

Why an aluminum flatbed

Lighter than steel

Less bed weight leaves more of your truck's rated payload for cargo, and puts less load on tires, brakes and suspension.

Won't rust

Aluminum forms its own protective oxide layer. No rust bubbling under paint, no rotted wood deck.

Square, wide deck

A flat deck as wide as the truck, with no wheel wells in the way — pallets, sheet goods and equipment sit flat.

Load from any side

Fold down gates drop flat for forklift loading; lift out stakes pull straight up when you need an open deck.

FAQ

Aluminum flatbed questions

How much does an aluminum flatbed weigh?

It depends on size, gates and accessories. As a guide, a typical 8' Alumbody flatbed weighs 350–450 lbs, versus 800–1,000 lbs for a comparable steel-and-wood bed.

Will an aluminum flatbed rust?

No. Aluminum doesn't rust; it forms a thin oxide layer that protects the metal. Our gates use stainless steel hinges and latches, and stainless hardware is available throughout for wet or cold climates.

How much weight can an aluminum flatbed carry?

Our floors carry an 8,000 lb distributed load rating — in most cases more than the truck's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. Your truck's own payload and axle ratings always set the real limit.

Can you put an aluminum flatbed on any truck?

We build for nearly every pickup and cab-chassis truck, from the Tacoma, Frontier, Ranger and Colorado to F-550s, Sprinters and Isuzu NPRs. Every bed is measured to the truck's cab, frame and wheelbase.

How long does it take to build a flatbed?

Standard flatbeds and stake beds typically take 2–4 weeks. Heavily customized builds with liftgates or custom tool boxes may take longer; we give you a firm date when you order.

Do you ship aluminum flatbeds?

Yes. We install at our Orange, California shop or ship anywhere in the U.S., palleted, shrink-wrapped and freight insured.
