Bradford Built Contractor Bed
with 6 Aluminum Toolboxes
Overview
The Bradford Built Contractor Bed is made for people who work hard. It gives you solid storage, easy towing, and long-lasting use. Plus, with six aluminum toolboxes—three on each side—you can stay organized and ready for every job.
Key Features
Durable Aluminum Deck
This bed uses treadplate aluminum. It’s strong, yet lighter than steel. Because of that, it helps reduce truck weight and fuel use. Also, aluminum resists rust, which makes it great for all-weather work.
Six Aluminum Toolboxes
Each side of the bed has three toolboxes, giving you lots of secure space for tools.
They are light, rust-free, and built into the bed. Plus, sealed lids and strong latches help protect your gear from water and dust.
Heavy-Duty Towing
This bed is ready for serious towing.
-
The gooseneck hitch includes a 2-5/16″ ball and supports heavy loads.
-
Also, the 2.5″ rear receiver hitch works with large trailers.
-
In addition, welded safety chain loops add extra security.
Wiring and Lights
To keep you safe and visible, the bed includes bright LED lights for stop, tail, reverse, and clearance.
It also comes with a 7-way trailer plug, so you can connect trailers easily.
Easy Tie-Downs
You’ll find four welded D-rings on the bed. Because of that, securing your load is quick and simple.
Smart, Practical Design
This bed is built for real-world use:
-
Rear corners are angled to help with tight turns.
-
A step on the tailboard makes it easier to climb onto the bed.
-
Finally, the strong headache rack protects your cab and lets you mount lights if needed.
Hitch Rating and Safety Tips
To get the most from your Contractor Bed and stay safe while towing, follow these tips:
1. Know Your Limits
-
The gooseneck hitch is built for large trailers.
-
The 2.5″ receiver hitch supports strong towing and tongue weight.
2. Reinforce for Safety
To use the full hitch strength, you must support the receiver. So, use 45° braces that connect to your truck’s frame.
3. Balance Your Load
Always spread your load evenly. This helps your truck steer better and brake safely.
4. Check Alignment
Make sure the hitch ball fits properly into the receiver. Poor alignment can reduce towing power or cause damage.
5. Ask About Specialty Hitches
If you need a pintle, drop hitch, or something custom, talk to your installer. They’ll help you get the right setup for safe towing.
