Whether your truck is mainly for work, or you have a recreational hobby that requires frequent flatbed use, consider the benefits of customization. A custom flatbed offers several benefits over their standard counterparts to assist with work and pleasure. Below, learn why going the custom route is a choice you won’t regret.

4 Reasons to Purchase a Custom Flatbed for Your Truck

1. Matched Parts

Request a custom truck flatbed from your local fabrication company for a shell that fits your vehicle perfectly. There are no gaps, loose sections, or other ill-fitting problems with a custom flatbed because it is manufactured to fit your truck only. You’ll never have to worry about it coming apart prematurely or causing you to lose tools and materials because it is too loose to keep things secure. Whether you need a standard, standard skirt, western hauler, or utility steel custom flatbed, it will match your truck body.

2. Outfitted for Your Specific Needs

Work with your fabrication company to create a flatbed that meets your vehicle needs, such as heavy-duty trailer hitches for big hauling jobs or work lights for late-night projects. Maybe truck bed toolboxes are what your vehicle needs, or double-mirror bar extensions and oversized load sign holders. When you customize, there are few limits to what your truck bed can include.

3. Streamlined Look

Customize your flatbed to create a more streamlined truck look. Metal beds such as aluminum are among the easiest to work with because they can be spray-painted to match the truck’s colors and overall appearance. Depending on what type you get, the bed can also be painted to include your business’s name and contact information for a more professional-looking vehicle.

4. Increased Value 

Add value to your truck with a custom flatbed. It protects the underlying metal from corrosion while offering features such as built-in toolboxes that attract buyers. Even if you don’t intend to sell your truck soon, a flatbed helps preserve the vehicle so you can advertise a higher price later on.
