Premium Truck Bed Solutions to Turn Your Rig Into a Workhorse

If your truck is your work partner, giving it a strong, reliable bed is essential. At Iron Ox Products, we design and build heavy-duty, versatile truck beds that elevate utility, durability, and style. Whether you haul equipment, materials, or DIY gear, our truck bed options are built to handle real-world demands.

Why Upgrading Your Truck Bed Matters

The factory bed on most trucks is functional—but when you demand more from your rig (jobsites, heavy gear, weather exposure), an upgraded truck bed offers:

  • Structural strength to support heavier loads
  • Better integration with accessories like toolboxes, tie-downs, and fuel tanks
  • Improved protection for cargo and contents
  • Custom layouts—with compartments, flatbeds, dovetails, and more
  • Longer lifespan thanks to rugged materials and superior welding

When your work depends on your truck, the bed needs to be more than just a flat surface.

Which Types of Truck Beds Does Iron Ox Offer?

Iron Ox builds truck beds across styles and use cases. Here are the primary options:

Flatbed Beds

Flatbeds are the most flexible utility beds. They expose full deck space, ideal for heavy equipment, pallets, and materials that don’t fit within standard sidewalls.

Skirted Flatbeds

A flatbed with recessed sides (skirts) gives you full deck utility while maintaining a more finished, sleek profile—ideal for maneuvers through tight spaces or aesthetic balance.

Dovetail & Utility Beds

These beds taper down at the rear, improving approach angles and ease of backing up steep ramps or driveways. Common in heavy-duty and towing applications.

Service Bodies & Rack Beds

These combine your flatbed with integrated cabinet storage, enclosed toolboxes, or rack systems for contractors and mobile workshops.

Specialty & Custom Beds

Tailor your bed with attachments like underbody storage, fifth-wheel provisions, fuel tank slots, or crane mounts. Iron Ox supports custom modifications to match your operation.

Key Considerations Before Choosing a Bed

To pick the right truck bed, keep these factors in mind:

  • Load requirements – How much weight you’ll carry regularly
  • Vehicle compatibility – Ensure it fits frame dimensions, fuel tank location, wheel wells
  • Accessory planning – Think about mounts for toolboxes, tie-downs, racks
  • Finish & protection – Powder coatings, anti-slip decks, corrosion resistance
  • Clearance & approach angle – Especially for off-road use or ramp loading

A carefully matched bed gives you reliability, safety, and versatility on every job.

What to Expect During Installation

Iron Ox handles the full installation process to make sure your bed fits and functions perfectly:

  1. Template & Measurement – We verify frame alignment, crossmember spacing, and armor clearances
  2. Removal of Old Bed Components – The old bed, wiring, and mounts are detached cleanly
  3. Frame Prep & Mounting – Proper mounting brackets, welds, or bolted joints are applied
  4. Adjustments & Fit-Up – Side alignment, gap spaces, and stacking tolerances are fine-tuned
  5. Accessory Integration – Tie-downs, lighting tabs, rack bays, or fuel cutouts are added
  6. Inspection & Delivery – We check design specs, structural integrity, and deliver your finished rig

Maintenance & Best Practices

Your truck bed deserves care to last:

  • Wash and rinse off corrosive materials (mud, salt)
  • Check bolts and mounting hardware regularly
  • Recoat scratched or exposed metal
  • Inspect for stress cracks—especially after heavy work
  • Lubricate sliding mechanisms or hinges if present

Routine care protects your investment over the long term.

Your truck bed is where your work gets done. With a purpose-built Iron Ox truck bed, you don’t just carry loads—you command your jobsite. Explore the collection and tailor your rig for utility, durability, and performance that holds up under pressure.
