DUMP BED KIT FOR FLATBED TRUCKS
The PIERCE flatbed hoist is a complete dump bed kit designed primarily for installation on 1/2 - 1 ton trucks with an after-market dump or flatbed body. PIERCE flatbed kits can be used to convert a trailer into a dump trailer but require some modification. In addition PIERCE flat bed dump kits come partially assembled, for your convenience. All cross members, scissor mounting hardware, bed hinges, pump/valve assembly, wiring, controls, cylinder, and a 200 AMP breaker are all included.
Which dump kit, light, medium, or heavy-duty? The choice is based on two factors your bed length and what capacity limit you want to be able to lift, haul and dump. Scroll down to view the fit chart.
