Skirted Flatbeds Make Great Tool Carriers
“Our company builds two series of skirted flatbeds that safely and efficiently organize field worker’s tools,” says Cliff Kester of Besler Industries, Inc. in Neb. “The 9000 series has four toolboxes under the deck and hinged side rails that fold down. The 8000 series has four toolboxes under the deck along with stake pockets and a rub rail. Toolboxes can also be added on the deck of an 8000 series bed.” Kester says all of the toolboxes are completely modular so a customer can arrange boxes on the deck of the bed to fit their needs.
Besler also builds 6000 and 7000 series basic flatbeds. The 6000 is a base bed with stake pockets and a rub rail and the 7000 is a base bed with a hinged side rail that folds down. Options include drawers for the front mount toolboxes, dividers for the top taper boxes, ladder racks and a shovel box.
Kester says Besler flatbeds are made using tough 11-ga. deck plate with 4-in. channel stringers and 3/16-in. cross member channels. Standard equipment includes a bolt-in 30,000 lb. ball for gooseneck trailers and woven harnesses for lights. Four pin and seven blade trailer connectors are integral on the back. There’s also an option for a B & W flush mount or a Ball & Puck flush mount gooseneck assembly instead of the standard recessed 30,000 lb. gooseneck ball. Kester says beds can also be configured with a formed end gate, removable side rails and steps that bolt under the toolboxes. “These options and others can be found on the Besler Industries website in the ‘Build Your Own Flatbed’ section of the home page,” Kester says.
