Heavy-Duty Steel Flatbed Construction

The Diamond 9′ flatbed is constructed for daily commercial and municipal use with a durable steel platform and reinforced understructure.

Key construction features include:

• 1/8″ steel diamond plate deck
• 4″ formed crossmembers on 16″ centers
• 4″ channel longitudinal sills
• Recessed stake pockets along both sides
• Rope hooks beneath the flatbed at each crossmember
• 43″ tall square headboard
• 50/50 headboard design with expanded metal
• Recessed fuel pocket in side rail
• Undercoated body
• Mud flaps

1,600 lb Tommy Gate Liftgate

A major feature of this build is the Tommy Gate Model G2-731650-TP35 hydraulic liftgate.

The liftgate provides:

• 1,600 lb lifting capacity
• 87″ x 35″ tread plate platform
• White painted finish
• Inline circuit breaker
• Rear signal lights integrated into the Tommy Gate

For municipal and commercial crews handling heavy equipment, supplies, containers, machinery, or other cargo, the liftgate substantially reduces manual loading and unloading.

Aluminum Drop-Down Side Gates

The flatbed is equipped with 16″ tall aluminum slat drop-down side gates, providing cargo containment without permanently restricting access to the deck.

The system includes two gate panels per side, two aluminum slats per panel, stainless steel posts, stainless steel drop-down hinges, and Western-style gate latches.

The lightweight aluminum construction also makes the gates easier for crews to operate throughout the workday.

Dual Underbody Toolboxes

To keep tools and equipment organized without sacrificing deck space, the truck includes two 36″ x 18″ x 16″ underbody storage boxes, one on each side.

Both boxes are positioned forward of the rear tires and feature polished stainless steel T-handle lock pockets with keyed-alike locks.

This provides convenient storage for straps, chains, hand tools, PPE, trailer equipment, and other field supplies.

Cargo Securement

The flatbed provides multiple options for securing equipment and materials, including recessed side stake pockets and rope hooks positioned underneath the bed at each crossmember.

Combined with the drop-down side gates, this makes the truck suitable for transporting everything from palletized materials and equipment to landscape supplies and municipal maintenance gear.

Whelen Traffic Advisor

For crews operating along roadways and active jobsites, the truck includes a Whelen TAC815 Traffic Advisor mounted to the top of the headboard.

The controller is installed inside the cab near the driver for convenient operation.

This is especially valuable for public works, utility, road maintenance, and municipal fleet applications where vehicle visibility is critical.

Class V Towing Package

This Ford F-350 flatbed is also equipped for trailer towing with:

• Class V rear receiver hitch
• 2.5″ receiver
• 7-way RV flat-pin trailer connector

The combination of a heavy-duty flatbed, liftgate, storage, and towing capability allows one vehicle to handle a wide range of fleet assignments.

Built for Public Works & Commercial Fleets

This Diamond flatbed configuration is ideal for:

• Public Works Departments
• Municipal Maintenance
• Utility Districts
• Parks Departments
• Landscape Crews
• Road Maintenance
• Facility Maintenance
• Construction Contractors
• Equipment Service Companies
• Government Fleets

The combination of an open cargo deck, drop-down gates, hydraulic liftgate, secure storage, towing equipment, and warning lighting makes it particularly well suited for crews that perform multiple jobs from the same truck.
