Hilltip Unveils Game-Changing Truck Bed for Winter Maintenance
In a move set to redefine winter truck maintenance, Industrial Truck Beds by Hilltip has announced the launch of their innovative Interchangeable Winter Maintenance Bed. Compatible with all significant brands of cable-hoist truck body systems, the new bed delivers performance advantages and efficiency gains for winter maintenance professionals, making it an enviable piece of winter equipment in the terms of heavy duty truck parts.
Tailored for Optimized Performance
One of the standout features of the Winter Maintenance Bed is a cleverly engineered rear cutout, meticulously designed to fit and protect a salt spreader chute. This unique design enables the spreader to be mounted farther forward on the truck, improving weight distribution and reducing overall length. The bed is also well suited for de-icing sprayers, underscoring its versatility.
Year-round Functionality and Enhanced Versatility
For the off-season, hinged stand-up legs allow the bed to be dismounted with the spreader still installed. The legs, fully boxed and painted, provide enhanced durability. If a spreader isn't permanently installed, the bed can be removed without the legs using the provided roll-off kit.
The Winter Maintenance Bed showcases integrated 360-degree rope rings for securing a spreader or any other equipment. This feature, along with an absence of a bulkhead to maximize visibility and optional removable, adjustable board pockets, enhances the bed's versatility.
Customizable to Fit Your Needs
The new bed is available in lengths from 11 to 16.5 feet and widths between 82 to 102 inches. Buyers can choose between a steel or 304 stainless-steel deck construction, underpinned by robust A36 structural-steel channel cross members for optimal strength.
An Alliance Shaping the Future of Winter Maintenance
Craig Sandmann, North American Sales/Operations for Hilltip, sheds light on the collaboration between Hilltip and Industrial Truck Beds. "Our expertise in winter maintenance, combined with Industrial Truck Beds’ experience in truck bodies has allowed us to develop a superior interchangeable bed for winter applications," he said.
