From snowplowing to cargo hauling, there are countless applications for heavy-duty trucks, whether your job or your hobby depends on it. If you need a custom flatbed to manage your loads, you can’t beat PJ truck bodies. To learn more about the options on the market today and their potential for personalization, consider the following list.

The Top 3 Types of Custom Flatbeds From PJ Trailers

1. Standard Steel Truck Bed

Ranging in length from 8’4” to 11’4’’, this all-steel model is the classic starting point for your ideal custom flatbed. It features 4’’ steel channel frame rails with roll-formed cross members for ultimate stability, as well as a steel tubing headache rack and a top-rated gooseneck hitch. Potential customizations include a front toolbox, a backup camera with a monitor, and a spare tire rack, among many others.

2. Utility Steel Truck Bed

With nearly all the same features as the standard version, the utility steel truck bed adds a utility box in the front, a shovel box on top, and a chain box on both sides of the rear. It’s also outfitted with a solid rear skirt with a step, as well as side steps behind and in front of the fender so you have easy access to all your tools and supplies. 

3. Standard Skirt Aluminum Truck Bed

Although a more affordable option, this custom flatbed won’t disappoint. This version switches steel for aluminum in the frame rails, fuel fill, and headache rack, but adds white and red LED lighting, a rear skirt, and a 26K GN hitch with a welded ball in a recessed box. Optional add-ons include drop-in and fold down side rails.
