Flatbeds - I'm in the market.. But

[SLDHVN]

I LOVE the idea of having a flatbed for hauling toys, but out of all the mfg's that I have looked into none of them have all of the features I would like. Im sure that they can add those features on for extra $$$.

Must haves for me...
1. Ramps, stored in the deck, universal for s sled/snowbike/atv/utv/dirtbike
2. Gooseneck hitch
3. Storage boxes under the sides
4. Spare tire storage(and not anything hokey, just like the stock style)
5. Lots of tie down points(logical tie down points, not just a d ring thrown in an empty spot)

It seems that you can find a bed with 3 out of 5 of these feature, not all of them.

Himarker- That thing looks very well thought out, and looks good on the truck also. More pics!

Thanks. I'm trying to build this one with everything a guy would need. All your options are on this bed. I'll get some more pics up soon.

Silverlake and North Cascade do those. Visit http://www.sledecks.com to see all of that on his site.

Looks good!
One of these flatbeds makes so much more sense than a deck! (and look sooo much better)

I got my new flatbed done. It was a very innovative idea and I am going to start selling these. At $1225 each, with free installation, these are a bargain. I am now taking orders and I plan to be booked out for the winter.

Highmarker, that bed is awesome! IMO the best looking one I've seen. You ever get bored I'd drive to Wala Wala to buy one from you!!

 

[himarker]

thanks

Just got it back from the powdercoater last night. Mounted it and started on wiring. More pics to come.

Looks great, Love the custom design!!

 

[Scott]

That is awesome.

What's the floor made out of? Here's mine. Not custom but added my own options

That is seriooulsy the best setup i have ever seen!!! I want one! Awesome job man

 

[himarker]

Thanks guys. Base floor material is 3/4 #9 flat expanded metal with 1/2 rubber stall mat on top of it. Resilient surface, decent traction when wet, expanded lets water drop through, and stuff won't slide around when set on the deck. After taking a header off a podwercoated diamond plate deck covered in snow I decided to try something different. More pics to come.

Mine is almost done. I added sliding sides like some sled decks have.

That is a very nice bed there himarker. I like the dimple die work. What did you use for the frame? 2x3 or 2x4 .188 wall?

 

[himarker]

Both are in there. Some .120 in lighter areas.

I'm not usually a fan of flatbeds, but that is sharp. Nice work, himarker.
